drink essentials: christmas cosmopolitan
I call this a cosmopolitan because it does have the elements of that classic drink. However, it is just a great holiday drink, so call it what you wish. Served them last night, while watching How the Grinch Stole Christmas… the original. So, you ready… Let’s get into the kitchen.
