Oh, that is YUMMY. And after the very long work week I’ve had – I so needed this.

As a Christmas gift I received @Shaker&Spoon. The month of December was bourbon and bubbly – it was meant to be. I made one of the drinks for Christmas Eve dinner and it was a hit.

Cranberry Shrub

My second drink is the Pugno Risoto. In addition to it being truly delicious, it introduced me to shurbs. This is my first time making a cocktail with a shrub but it will certainly not be my last! This drink just begs for a group of girlfriends, some Coltrane and easy conversation. It is just that awesome. It tastes a bit like kombucha on steroids.

The recipe calls for lemon tea, honey, cranberry shrub, cherry bark vanilla bitters, bourbon – I used @4Roses, prosecco and a cinnamon stick. After steeping the tea, you mix it all together and pour it over ice, followed by the prosecco and float a cinnamon stick on top.

2 of my 3 drinks have been delicious. I can’t wait to try the third. Until then, I’ll continue to sip on my Resurrected Fist.

Cheers
