Thanksgiving would not be complete without a seasonal signature cocktail. This was created for us by a dear friend, Joey Balsalmo who just happens to be an award winning mixologist. It is called the Jayne Douglas and it is a beautiful take off of a Manhattan.

If you’re in the Seattle area, you can find Joey at the Hazelwood, a local Ballard favorite.

To make your own Jayne Douglas, here is the recipe:

2 oz bourbon

.5 oz sweet vermouth

.5 oz pimento dram

.5 oz simple syrup

Stir all the ingredients over ice and strain into your glass of choice. Garnish with a dehydrated blood orange or apple slice.

 

This was our first time dehydrating blood oranges and it could not have been easier. We sliced a blood orange into 1/4” pieces, laid flat on a parchment lined baking sheet, and baked at 225 degrees for 4 hours, flipping slices half way through. They turned out so pretty and added the perfect garnish to our Thanksgiving bar.
