My love of wine is well known. Cocktails are special occasion drinks for me. The Season of Summer is a special occasion as is Christmas and New Year’s in my household. I love a good cocktail during these times, but I am lazy and usually settle for something simple with gin or vodka — straight gin and vodka is sooo simple.
The holidays require something a bit spiffier. This is where you Crasstalkers can be helpful….
So we are going to have a little cocktail contest. Pretty much anything goes, but seasonal will garner you extra points.
I’m not doing a price limit, but you are limited to items that I can buy. No homemade infusions that take weeks to make. Homemade lavender bitters sounds lovely Cicada, but you cannot use them in this contest because I don’t have weeks to make them.
No problem with me making my own simple syrup with an infusion provided that it can be used immediately.
You have until Christmas Eve to submit and I will pick the winner next week. The winner will also have a place on my NYC restaurant’s drink menu as a special.
ETA: Blue drinks are immediately disqualified unless they have blueberries in them. I physically cannot drink anything blue.
