TIPSY TUESDAY...SWEET ESCAP3!
At the top of this year, I obtained my Mixologist License from NY State. In doing so I found an elevation in my passion for flavor development synonymous to my love of food. I couldn't be more elated with the in depth training I received from my instructors and mentors. Further educating myself in flavors profiles has led me to create some amazing cocktails which pair perfectly with meals I prepare. Every Tuesday I will be releasing a NEW recipe that is very personal to me, inspired by and dedicated to the many people I come in contact with.
This weeks cocktail is dedicated to those with overly demanding schedules, in need of a getaway.
