Sarasota's Slippery Slopes Slinger Recipe

Inspired by a Swedish Chef-worthy name, this Sarasota Slippery Slopes Slinger is the perfect après-ski drink to thaw you out after a long day on the slopes! Imagine this: a cold, snowy day spent snowmobiling, cross-country skiing, or carving down the runs – you're utterly frozen. This comforting concoction is the ultimate reward. We traditionally heated a whole bottle of Vernors ginger ale with lemon and honey, then topped it with brandy and bourbon. But you can easily make a single serving in the microwave! This recipe uses Vernors for its unique flavor, but if you can't find it, similar ginger ales will work. Get ready for a warm, delicious, and surprisingly simple drink that's perfect for one or a crowd.
