When it comes to cozy nights in, we get it. While getting dolled up and hitting the town may be fun most evenings, the thought of all the effort put into these nights is exhausting. So when an opportunity pops up to host the gals for a night in, bundled up in blankets and pajamas, we always take it.
If you’re ready for a weekend night spent inside with your best gals, or planning a Bachelor Monday wine night, we’ve found a delicious cocktail to whip up in a large batch. And even if it’s just a few of you, we know you’ll be pouring yourself seconds (or thirds).
Skip the boring bottle of red wine and take it up a notch. Tag, one of Denver’s hot spots to eat and drink, has provided us with their Superb Owl cocktail recipe. With refreshing hints of mint, delicious red wine, and a boozy pour of whiskey, your GNI just topped every other GNO.

Directions:
1. Using a micro plane grater, remove the zest from 2 of the oranges over a pot or slow cooker
2. Add the remaining ingredients and bring down to a simmer
