Drink of the Day: Spruce Cocktail
When it starts getting cold out, it is always nice to have a bottle of brandy in the house. This has always been my choice when I want to warm up from the inside - out. It seems to always accomplish this task. Now, with this beverage I am making the drink of the day today, I am enhancing the heat of the brandy and combining it with a mint and citrus combination that seem to compliment the brandy very well. I will allow you to judge this for yourself.
When you are done with your tasks and want to get in the right mindset, while taking the chill off, this is the perfect beverage. Not a bad happy hour choice. However, I prefer it to be my day-ender and wait until I am set for bed before indulging in one of these.
I hope you all enjoy your Wednesday. Happy Hump Day! Cheers!
