OH! You guys! I have so much to share with you and so much on my plate that I have not had a single moment to do so! Endlessly sorry!
I am in studio this week up against a really tight deadline (like so tight I should be in there cutting and pasting and doodling right now!) but I wanted to take a moment and say hello, wish you all a happy belated Thanksgiving. Tell you that I am oh so thankful for all of you and share with you this little sparkly glass of perfection that I recently served at my Friends Thanksgiving.
It is a cocktail that was invented by one of my favorite restaurants in Atlanta. I had it for the first time there this summer over a long, really delightful dinner with friends and colleagues. I did a little digging and found that they had shared the recipe with the local newspaper, and so now, I can share it with my party guests, and of course, you.
It is perfect for anytime, in the summer I would drink it like a lady in a champagne flute, but around the holidays, it is just the right thing on the rocks in your favorite vintage low-ball glass (which you obviously have…).
Later this week, I will fill you in on a bunch of stuff, some sneak peeks (yay!) and then get ready for gift-guides!
Enjoy!
