The holiday season has started and many of you are gathering with family and friends to celebrate, be thankful and eat delicious food. This is just the beginning of all of our festivities, so I thought I’d tackle a holiday worthy drink that is easy to put together and can even be prepped in advance in bulk and poured from a pitcher. You might remember my preference for Pimm’s cocktail. While it’s certainly known as a summer drink, I thought that the herby notes of this gin based beverage could easily be adapted for a wintery celebration. I decided to pick up on the woodsy notes and add some rosemary and add to to the darker colours with red plums and frozen blackberries. To make it even more muted, I used amber ginger ale instead of the regular paler version. Cheers to the season!
