Whether I’m hosting Thanksgiving or Christmas Day, I start the celebration the same way. Each year, I scour beverage sites and back issues of Maple Grove Magazine in search of a little something something to serve as the opening act of our holiday celebration. There are two requirements: It has to taste good AND look the part. This year, I’m adding a signature digestif to the mix. (The recipe is below.) Why? Because I have a new set of swanky coupe glasses that are just hankering for a spin around this year’s holiday get together!
