They solemnly swear they’re up to no good. Alie Ward and Georgia Hardstark will make you cry in laughter.



The dynamic duo’s chemistry and sense of humor led them to become on-camera contributors for the Cooking Channel’s “Unique Sweet,” even launching their own online Web series called, “Classy Ladies with Alie & Georgia,” where they put on pretty dresses, pretend to be classy, and take culinary lessons in each episode, with sides of witty comments and crazy antics.


We asked the quirky partners in crime to give us a fun and delicious recipe that best reflects the Winter season. They handed us their easy recipe for “Bourbon Cider Sipper” that uses flavors you will surely find comforting in a crazily cold weather like we’re currently experiencing.

1 cup light brown sugar

1 tablespoon whole cloves

For the cocktail
1. Add the bourbon, lemon juice and clove simple syrup to a shaker and add ice.

2. Shake vigorously and pour into a highball glass.
