Good morning friends!

We hope you're having an awesome week so far and are enjoying this break in the heat we've been having. If you're having a rough planning day today, today would be a great day to try something new like today's featured cocktail...it's tingly!


Ingredients: 1/4 cup each of sugar, light-color corn syrup, and water. 3 Tbsp of finely snipped, crystalized ginger. 1/2 cup of vodka,  A 750-milliliter bottle of chilled champagne

Mix it up: Combine sugar, water, corn syrup, and ginger in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes uncovered. Remove from heat and stir in the vodka. Let chill for 4 hours (or overnight for Friday night cocktails). Strain the vodka mixture to remove the ginger then pour into a large bowl. Pour champagne down the side of the bowl into the mixture, stirring gently in an up & down motion.

Serve it up: Serve in champagne glasses immediately and ENJOY!
 Try this recipe tonight with friends. It serves 8 and maybe consider featuring this cocktail at your wedding reception for a signature drink. I raise my glass to you and wish you a great finish to the week ahead.
