Delicious and (Un)Nutritious

It may only be 11am on this glorious Saturday morning, but I just stumbled upon a delicious sounding holiday cocktail, The Pointsetta, that I am going to make for my next fête. Or, if I don't throw a holiday soiree (which is much more likely) I will tote around each of the ingredients to be sure this holiday reverie inducing libation can be made with unbridled enthusiasm and ease. To begin:

The Pointsetta

Here’s what you need:

1oz Kanon Organic Vodka
1/2oz lemon juice
1/2oz simple syrup
3 raspberries
6-8 mint leaves
Champagne to fill

Here’s how you make it:

1. Add all ingredients to shaking tin.
2. Muddle, shake and double strain into champagne glass
3. Top with champagne.
4. Garnish with one mint leaf.
5. Savor the goodness. I can't wait to try it!

**The recipe was found on NAAG.com in the "places" link... Agyness Deyn must know everything!

WINERD

A wine tasting party gone rogue! This festive little diversion is perfection for the holidays. I love the idea of my family, all gathering around the fire or dining room table, to drink great wine and battle about who is more knowledgeable. WINERD combines wine tasting and trivia in a board game format to bring out the inner sommelier in even the toughest keg-stand champ. So get your thinking wine-caps on and leave your beer goggles at home, if you don't know that 1986 was THE year for Cabernet Sauvignon, you soon will.

 

WINERD ($35) is available at Uncommon Goods.
