November 11th, 2012Alpine Martini for the Holidays
November 10th, 2012I love the picture of this martini and admit, I had to find the recipe to see what the snowball looking thing was in the cocktail. Turns out it’s Douglas Fir Sorbet. Who knew there was such a thing? Turns out you have to make it yourself and that’s a little more work than I think I will ever do for a cocktail. I’m not sure where I’d find Douglas Fir fronds in Southern California, but it does look interesting.
