SWEET POTATO DREAMS
Lynn House, most recently of the Chicago bar Blackbird, drew on her Southern background for this rich cocktail. "One of my greatest memories as a child was making pies with my grandmother for the holidays," she said. "There would be apple, pecan, pumpkin and, of course, sweet potato pies." To her beloved sweet potatoes, Ms. House adds rum, maple syrup, cream and cinnamon. "Adding the whole egg to the cocktail turns it into a flip, which is a very traditional holiday drink," she said. The result is a creamy and comforting dessert drink, with an almost puddinglike texture.
