Breckenridge founder Bryan Nolt once said in an interview that his favorite way to drink his whiskey was in a punch, so that became the goal. Once I learned that the largest gold nugget found in Breckenridge in 1880 was a 13 lb beast named Tom’s baby, I had the name, all I needed was the cocktail. What better than the classic gold rush invented right here where I’m based in New York?! At the same time, it’s a double play because, after all, it was a gold rush that popularized the city of Breckenridge itself. The whiskey tasted neat has these underlying cherry notes that I wanted to bring out, hence the muddled cherry and the cherry cordial, and the champagne is just a great choice.
