Bells Will be Ringing

Bells Will Be Ringing hot cocktail with dark rum, apple brandy, amaretto, cherry liqueur, pineapple syrup, ginger syrup, lemon juice, and Earl Grey tea

Bells Will Be Ringing is an appropriately warm, homey drink, perfect for something named after the classic Christmas song, “Please Come Home for Christmas (Bells Will Be Ringing).”

Invented by Michelle Shriver at Dutch & Company in Richmond, Virginia, the drink is a comforting slice of fruitcake, dripping with spice syrup and jam-packed with apples, cherries, and pineapples.

Shriver’s recipe calls for a couple of coins of fresh ginger to be muddled to extract ginger juice – but if you don’t mind a bit of extra sweetness, ginger syrup or ginger liqueur works nearly as well.

Really Good App

We downloaded the app after seeing it as one of the top posts on /r/cocktails, and we've been playing around with it and adding our ingredients to the list. While it's not an all inclusive list of ingredients (missing some creme de ), it's a solid overall app and tosses out some truly spectacular recipes based on what you have in your liquor cabinet. Minor quibbles for an otherwise fantastic application!
