Happy #CocktailWednesday! In preparation for Christmas I’m mixing things up with a holiday cocktail. I figured if Santa can fly around the world in one night then I could find a way to balance olive and cranberry. Much like Santa squeezing his way down the chimney, one might say this red martini is a tad dirty. Hope y’all are ready for the holidays cuz… OLIVE CHRISTMAS
