You’re killin’ me, Smalls! You haven’t tried the Lincoln Social Rooftop S’more Cocktail yet?
This timeless treat comes straight from the fireside to the glass and is sure to offer some nostalgia in the process. The cognac base makes the cocktail much more approachable – not too sweet like rum or too spiced like whiskey.
“This isn’t meant to be a dessert cocktail, it’s meant to be light and approachable,” Derek Bush, assistant general manager at Lincoln Social Rooftop, says. “The citrus from the lemon juice cuts through everything and balances out the richness of the fluff and the nuttiness of the sherry and rounds everything out.”
Making it at Home

Preparation Procedures
