A Sigh of Relief

We made it to the end of the week!  And what a week it has been. We have completed our very first week on this blog.  It’s been fun and stressful, and busy, and well, really busy.  So I thought I would end this week with a big of good cheer.  And toast the good work we have all been doing this past while. And since it’s December, I thought we should raise a glass of something warm.  A drink to help us feel cozy and a bit relaxed.  So why don’t you join me in raising a glass of grog to welcome in the weekend?

In case you have never had an occasion to drink this gift from the heavens – here is the basic recipe – feel free to change it up. Add cinnamon or cloves, or oranges.  Whatever you like.  If ginger is not your thing – remove it, and add your preferred spice.

Ginger Grog (the perfect end of the week winter beverage).

4 oz amber rum (or whatever kind of rum you prefer)
6 oz black tea*
1.5 oz ginger syrup (it’s just simple syrup with some crushed ginger – or a lot of crushed ginger).
1/2 oz of maple syrup
dash or two of aromatic bitters
add a bit of citrus zest

*let your tea steep with orange and lemon slices

Combine all of the ingredients.  Put on some music and dance for 1 song. By the time the song is over, the grog will be ready to drink.

Now that you are enjoying your grog- why don’t you join our sales staff for a bit of a catch up on what’s new.
