It’s Day 12 of the 12 Drinks of Christmas! We are getting close to the end. Well not really the end, because I will run a couple of days longer and save a few for first true weekend in January since it’s such a busy weekend ahead. We have LOTS of cocktails to share and also to sip.
The Allaire brand of spirits has a small but premium portfolio:
RUM aged 3 years in oak casks and filtered appropriately,
Tequila made from 100% SELECT BLUE WEBER AGAVES and aged in bourbon casks,
Vodka made from Polish grains, distilled six times and filtered five times for a crystal clear spirit.
Their flavor profiles sound amazing! Any of these spirits would make a great cocktail and a fabulous gift!

2oz Allaire Cristal Age tequila

These drinks are all tasty combos, but the gold powder certainly sets the Margarita apart. I like Cadillac Margaritas..and the gold powder would be the over the top presentation for a real festive look. What a fun idea!!! Thanks, Stevie
