The holiday season isn’t complete without a festive dessert and cocktail pairing. This year I’m partnering with my friends at @mailleus to show you just how to amplify two holiday classics using Maille Hot Honey Dijon # ad Maille Hot Honey Dijon is a creamy, gourmet French Dijon mustard, infused with @mikeshothoney and is sweet with a little heat, just like gingerbread. Though it may be a surprising detail, it pairs incredibly well with warm gingerbread spice, brown sugar and molasses. While it may seem like a small detail, it should not be skipped this holiday season! But what would dessert be without a cocktail to pair it with?! In my home, cocktail pairings are key when it comes to holiday meals, no matter the course and we love whiskey in this house. This Maple Fig Old Fashioned is infused with a homemade simple syrup featuring, you guessed it, Maille Hot Honey Dijon, brown sugar and maple syrup, which perfectly pairs with this gluten free Gingerbread Bundt Cake with a Maple Cinnamon Glaze. Another thing I love about Maille Hot Honey Dijon is that it is gluten free, free from artificial flavors & colors, so it’s always an easy choice when purchasing mustard for my holiday table. It also pairs beautifully with savory dishes in dishes like marinades for meats and dressings for salads.
