This cocktail says to me, welcome! Glad you could come and I’m so glad to see you! Here, let me take your coat and please make yourself at home. I hear lots of laughter and see twinkling lights. It’s Christmas, ya’ll!….This drink also says to me, now that your house is straight, the presents are wrapped, your new peppermint pine needle candle is going, have a seat, grab your Mary Kay Andrew’s Christmas Bliss novel, sit down, relax, be grateful!….Whatever this cocktail says to you, listen! It is very delicious. Delicious is wise in my book.
1 ounce creme de menthe
1 ounce creme de cacao
1 ounce heavy cream
Combine all the ingredients with ice in a cocktail shaker and shake vigorously until chilled well and combined, about 15 seconds. Strain into a chilled coupe or red plastic solo cup…tricky right there. Garnish with a dusting of freshly grated nutmeg.
COOKING THE BOOKS, YA’LL!
