Galesburg, MI — Cranberries, cream, cinnamon and a little warmth.
Those are just a few of the attributes we seek in a cocktail during the holiday season, or winter for that matter.
At Gull Lake Distilling Co., which opened in March, 2020, the team has established a relatively new list of winter cocktails using its in-house gin, vodka, whiskey and brandy and more.
Without giving away all their secrets, here are several seasonal craft cocktails to enjoy in the coming weeks. And don’t forget, the distillery also produces its own beer and features a massive outdoor garden.
Also, this list only scratches the surface. GLDC also serves spiked hot cocoa and a slew of hot toddy options. Most cocktails range from $8 to $10 apiece.
