This classic grape-and-grain mixture came to us from Christopher Tunnah, the general manager and beverage director at the Bedford Post in Bedford, N.Y. It's as jolly and red as a Santa suit, and it derives its Dickensian tang from the nutmeg hints in Angostura bitters and the clove-studded orange flavors of orange bitters. Craving seconds is easy. —Jonathan Miles

No grape juice on hand, but it’s Christmas and have unsweetened cranberry juice. So, used 2 oz. cranberry (4 oz. juice seemed too much) and 1/2 oz. of simple syrup. Increased bourbon to 2 oz., too. Nice holiday drink.

CMT

These proportions are a little heavy on the grape juice. I'll probably cut back a little bit on the juice next time.

Erica

Delicious holiday drink - I recommend upgrading to a blood orange and pure pomegranate juice. I did not change proportions.

Alexandra

Hmmmm. We made one with Bourbon, the other one with Brandy. The Brandy one is better, but it is still no revelation. We upped the juice and added fresh nutmeg, that's better.

Nichelleley

Replaced the Concord grape with cranberry juice cocktail for a festive Holiday feel. DELISH. Followed the recipe exactly otherwise, it was a huge hit with my husband, a bourbon snob, as well as myself!
