Holiday Spirit

The holidays are upon us. With that comes celebrating. If you are having family and friends in for festivities, have a signature holiday cocktail to commemerate the occassion.

Why not make it fun and seasonal with some holiday fruits and flavors? Cranberry, juniper, rosemary and orange are some of the festive flavors I think of. Add in some gin and you’ve got yourself some yuletide cheer.

This year’s cocktail is called the Holiday Gin-spritz; it’s tangy, fruity, zippy.
