Danger Zone

Description

The Danger Zone is a modern cocktail that was created by Alla Lapushchik at Off Track Betting in New York City, New York and was first published in the book Winter Drinks: 70 Essential Cold-Weather Cocktails by the editors of PUNCH. The bartender described the recipe as a boozy cross between thick eggnog and a sweet Orange Julius drink, and it’s made by shaking a spiced rum base with both orange and lemon juice, hazelnut, egg, soda water, and aromatic bitters.
