So The Tennesse Hussy Cocktail... Is made with a very dry sparkling wine and JD Tennessee Honey Whiskey - it's totally fine but I fele like it needs a garnish or a splash of something to really make it great. What do you think? →[More:]

I kind of want to mimic the Brazen Hussy and add a shot of orange liquor, but JD Honey Whiskey is SUPER sweet and I feel like it really needs a non-sweet flavor there.

A curl of orange rind?

pinch of cayenne?

Mint.

I like the orange rind idea and maybe subsitute cayenne with a teaspoon of fireball liquor.

Or maybe even paprika.

I am kind of in love in paprika.

( mint feels like it would conflict with the sticky sweetness of the JD but maybe muddles....)

sounds tasty. How about an orange wedge, or raspberries.

I was thinking just a couple leaves, perhaps rubbed around the rim. More for the scent than the taste.

By the way, I meant peel or zest more than rind, but sometimes I write faster than I think, I'm sure some of you know the feeling.

Sounds like something that could really benefit from a dash of bitters.

OooOOo...Bitters.

Definitely bitters.

Campari? It's a new discovery in our house and I hadn't realised how bitter it is (in a good way).

Lime wedge.

It turns out orange bitters and a teaspoon of fireball liquor was the thing it needed. Also I am hungover.
