The fragrance of nutmeg is very special, I cannot even really describe it, its spicy-woody and fresh, nutty and very satisfying especially when just the right touch is added to drinks. I often connect nutmeg to Fall and Christmas Season,and since we are in Fall I thought I'd share three of my favorite cocktails which easily connect with nutmeg: Night Cap, Pomegretti and Naked Pear.
