Three Words: Slushy. Snow. Cocktail.

Courtesy of the good folks at The Art of Manliness comes the secret of turning an ordinary cocktail into an intoxicating slushie.

All you need are the ingredients to your favorite beverage, a glass full of snow and guests with a taste for something different. (If they prefer a warm toddy for the holidays, The Art of Manliness has those right here).

Here’s a special recipe from TAoM:

• 1oz Winter Jack
• 1oz Gentleman Jack whiskey
• 2oz ginger beer
• Apple slices to garnish

Combine the Winter Jack and whiskey in a cocktail shaker with ice, shake it up, and pour into your glass over the snow. Top with ginger beer and apple slice, and enjoy!
