King in the North [ Recipe ]

• 1.5oz Crown Royal Canadian whisky
• 1.5oz Half and Half
• .75oz Chili infused maple syrup
• 6oz cold brew iced coffee

Combine all ingredients in a shaker with ice, shake well. Strain into a Collins glass filled with ice.

Why the Name?
Because. Jon. Fucking. Snow.

Why the Ingredients?
“Crown Royal Canadian whisky” is basically High Valyrian for King in the North, so a perfect spirit pick. Half and half because L + R=J and chili infused maple syrup gives a nod to the Stark North and the Targaryen fire. Cold brew? The North is cold and its summer, so cool off with this Game of Thrones cocktail.
