There’s no better way to celebrate the first official day of Fall and mark the season’s change than with a spicy bourbon cocktail that not only tastes good, but also helps to warm you up! Basil Hayden’s Bourbon teamed up with top Chicago based mixologist Charles Joly to create the Equinox Spice – a combination of our trademark spicy bourbon and full bodied fall flavors like nutmeg, and milk stout beer. We like to thing that the cocktail represents the perfect fall day… in a glass! So as the sun crosses the celestial equator.. be sure to toast with Basil Hayden’s Equinox Spice!
