Grandma’s Candy is June 13th Drink of the Day!!

There is nothing like going over to grandma’s house and putting your hands in her candy jar. She would be sure to have it filled for us before we came over. When I made this drink for a customer a couple years back, the flavor reminded me of these days.

This is a very simple drink to make. The flavor combination will not dissatisfy. Just be sure to leave some room for the apple pie.

Grandma’s Candy

1 1/2 oz. Vanilla Infused Vodka

Orange Juice

1/2 oz. Raspberry Liqueur (Chambord)

3 Fresh Raspberries for garnish.

Method: You build this in an old fashioned glass filled with ice. Add the measured amount of vodka. Pour in orange juice to about a half and inch from the rim of the glass. Top off with a half ounce of raspberry liqueur. Garnish with three fresh raspberries.
