Thought so.
What are you doing reading my blog?
For anyone who needs a good cocktail to make it through the hustle and bustle, I suggest seeking the assistance of Santa's Little Helper -- a delicious wintertime cocktail with touches of cinnamon, clove and cranberry. It makes a great libation for entertaining anytime, especially come Christmas.
Soak two cinnamon sticks, some whole cloves, and a bunch of whole cranberries in good bourbon (it's Christmas, you can splurge) overnight. The next day, fill a glass with ice. Do three parts infused bourbon, one part triple sec, and fill the glass with 7-Up or some other lemon-lime soda. Garnish with boozy cranberries. Drink until full of holiday joy.
The recipe comes courtesy of my cousins John and Kerry. Originally called "Mama's Little Helper", there are multiple variations on the bourbon/triple sec/soda combo. It's a great base for concocting your own signature cocktail.
Merry Christmas!
