Houndstooth cocktail BULLDOG gin

I love a good eggnog, but sometimes I wonder why it’s customary to chase rich, creamy, heavy holiday foods with a drink made with heavy cream and eggs. The Houndstooth cocktail made with ever-refreshing BULLDOG Gin is basically the antithesis of eggnog, which is most likely the kind of cocktail you’ll want once you’re settled into a holiday food coma.

The Houndstooth

1 ½ oz. (45 ml) BULLDOG Gin

¾ oz. ( 20 ml) Endive Syrup

½ oz. (15 ml) Fresh Lime Juice

Dash of Celery Bitters

8 Grape Tomatoes

4 Basil Leaves

Endive Spear (garnish)

Splash of Club Soda
