Ok, so it’s winter and you’re looking for something to warm the insides and give you that satisfaction only a sweet treat can provide. Ladies (and gentlemen) I give you Jack Daniels’ Gentleman Jack. Don’t let the name of this double mellowed Tennessee whiskey fool you either, this boozy chocolate brownie we’ve put together is the perfect accompaniment to a warming espresso martini. It’s a combination that will get any wintery girls nights started just right.
