Cocktails on a holiday weekend or even during the week, help lift the spirits (pun intended) that people might need. Maybe the weather is ghastly (and honestly, the midwest and east coast have had quite a bad time.) Now that Southern California looks like it’s going to get some rain and colder than usual weather both at the same time, it might be time to whip up a cocktail when you arrive home– or if you are working from home, consider it your reward for your efforts!
While I haven’t tried any of these HIGH WEST Cocktails, that doesn’t mean I can’t assess the flavor based on the recipe(s). There are a couple of recipes I really want to try. Take a look at these and let me know which one or two you would like to be having right now.
