Filed under: Spirits

Ever though of using your leftover sweet potatoes in a cocktail? Grey Goose Master Mixologist Nick Mautone has. He created the Grey Goose L'Orange Sweet Indulgence cocktail. At only one tablespoon of sweet potato per cocktail it will take you a while to work through your mound of orange leftovers but hey, it's a start.

Grey Goose L'Orange Sweet Indulgence
1 ½ parts Grey Goose L'Orange Flavored Vodka
½ part Vanilla Brandy or Liqueur
1 part lime juice
¼ part maple or simple syrup
¼ part molasses
1 tbsp roasted or mashed sweet potato

In the bottom of a cocktail shaker, place the syrup, molasses and sweet potato. Muddle gently. Add the ice and the remaining ingredients. Shake vigorously. Double-strain into a glass and garnish.
