…..This weeks cocktail of the week is all about getting in the spirit. Christmas is only a few weeks away, and as we’ve mentioned before we’re very seasonal in our drinking so this time of year we’re all about the pumpkin, the cranberry, the minty, the chocolate, and many other flavors that remind us of the fall and holiday season. This weeks recipe is actually an adaptation of a recipe I tried and wasn’t to happy with. It originally featured an overly strong peppermint flavor, something my palate couldn’t handle. Trust me, I love peppermint, but it was overwhelming. Try my version of this one out and see if you like it.
