Channel the smoky thrill of a raceway tailgate with the Walkin’ After Midnight, a bold craft cocktail spotlighting Copper Fox Distillery Peachwood Single Malt and Catoctin Creek 1757® Virginia Brandy. Infused with Nashville hot honey and rich tobacco bitters, this spirited creation delivers a smoky, fiery kick worthy of late-night racing heritage.
Prep: Gather your mixing glass, fresh ice, a rocks glass with a large clear ice cube, Copper Fox Peachwood Single Malt, peach-infused Catoctin Creek 1757® Virginia Brandy, Nashville hot honey syrup, root beer bitters, Turkish tobacco bitters, and a fresh peach slice.
Mix: Combine the single malt, brandy, hot honey syrup, root beer bitters, and Turkish tobacco bitters together in the mixing glass.
Stir: Add fresh ice to the mixing glass and stir thoroughly until the mixture is properly chilled, velvety, and balanced.
Serve: Strain the rich libation cleanly into your prepared rocks glass over the large, clear ice cube.
Garnish: Finish by placing a warm, brûléed peach slice on a cocktail pick across the rim of the glass.
