I’ve talked about this before, but to me, cocktails are just as seasonal as food. Fall and winter are all about the whisky in our house, and also . . . White Russians. I’m not sure WHY they seem like a winter drink to me, but they just do. The creamy, almost dessert-like combo of milk, vodka and coffee liqueur is so comforting.

It’s kind of like winter’s version of an ice cream cone or something. Plus booze. I don’t know where I’m going with this. It probably only makes sense in my head, but my position is that White Russians are a cocktail and dessert wrapped up in one magical glass. You with me on this?

Just when I thought White Russians couldn’t get any better, the folks at Jackson Morgan introduced me to their Brown Sugar & Cinnamon Southern Cream Liqueur. This Tennessee whiskey-based cream has the caramel-like sweetness of brown sugar and a bright kick of cinnamon. It’s awesome in coffee (both hot and iced), and for adding a depth of flavor to this Brown Sugar & Cinnamon White Russian.

If you weren’t convinced a cocktail could double as dessert before, give Jackson Morgan a try in your next White Russian and let me know if I’ve changed your mind!
