Easy to make, and everyone loves them! It’s become a Thanksgiving Tradition for the past 4 years!
Served these at Thanksgiving, however, they have become an “anytime” favorite.
My brother, who worked his way through college and grad school as a bartender, made these for Thanksgiving. They were a big hit with everyone. I personally cannot stand regular martinis. These were terrific – not too sweet and made a very attractive appearance.
I made these for our Thanksgiving dinner party as a non-wine alternative. These were wonderful! Festive and different. They will become a holiday tradition.
We’re gin lovers and we “ate” this drink up. Served it at a party and everyone loved the simplicity. Also, if you make a large batch with some leftover, goes great with tonic over ice. I’m making one right now!
the dinner was difficult and didn’t turn out very well but the drink went down pretty easily.
not so hot
Unique blends – the ladies will love it
We loved it! Still make them even though it’s March! Festive presentation.
I read the reviews that thought it would be good with Vanilla Vodka. That had a flavor that took me back to my childhood. I can’t remember the name of the cough syrup we had as kids but that was it, yuck. Then we tried it with plain Vodka. Very good indeed that way.
