This is series that I inaugurated back in 2004. Called the 12 Drinks of Christmas, you will see a different sip (or sips) each day. Sometimes it’s just one brand of wine or spirits, or a collection of cocktails from one bar or restaurant or mixologist. Not only sharing established brands but also new ones and also new cocktails that create interesting sips for you to share with friends and family!
The theme for today’s cocktails seems to be all about apples– finding the perfect “apple of your eye” (and tastebuds) cocktails!
