Cranberry Martini
This festive Cranberry Martini is an elegant cocktail to serve during the holidays. Made with my Cranberry Simple Syrup, this delicious and sophisticated 3 ingredient cocktail gets dressed up with a garnish of sugared cranberries. It’s not overly sweet and has just the right amount of cranberry tang. The perfect apéritif for the holiday season!
Pumpkin Spice White Russian
Our Pumpkin Spice White Russian is a twist on the traditional White Russian Cocktail. Bringing autumn flavors into this classic dessert cocktail, we used three simple ingredients to create a deliciously sweet, coffee flavored libation that provides the perfect boozy finish to any autumn meal. Our version of the White Russian takes it up a notch by frothing the creamer and garnishing with a cinnamon stick and a sprinkling of pumpkin spice.
Passion Tea Cocktail
This is a well balanced apéritif that has lovely floral and fruity notes without being too sweet. Don’t be fooled, this is a gin cocktail. Our Passion Tea Cocktail can be served on the rocks or as a martini. It can also be made ahead and is great for entertaining.
Amaretto Cranberry Bliss Cocktail
This festive cocktail is a surprisingly subtle and very drinkable variation of the original Amaretto Cranberry Kiss. Our Amaretto Cranberry Bliss Cocktail packs an elegant punch! It’s not too sweet and can be made ahead, which is great for entertaining.
The Launch Cocktail
The Launch is a lovely, refreshing champagne cocktail. Adapted from the French 75, this cocktail is light and very drinkable. It's sure to lift your spirits at the start of a celebratory evening.
