Happy first Friday of December! We have all woken up from our Thanksgiving food comas and are ready to celebrate the holidays with verve. I am sure most of you are busy with holiday parties and gatherings throughout this month, but let’s not forget sometimes we need to treat ourselves. This cocktail is one I consider a simple treat I particularly enjoy when I want to relax at home with some jazz and a cigar. Once again, I have twisted the general recipe… and I hope you all enjoy it any way you find pleasurable!
