The Best Part of My Job!

And what is the best part of my job? Picking (and testing) the drink specials for each show! And the best time of year to pick drink specials is Christmas. You can have so much fun. We are offering a series of drinks this year, so we all have been plowing through mountains and mountains of recipes.

It's a bit of a science because it can't be difficult to make, we have too little time and too little space. And it has to be yummy! And it has to tie into the show somehow. All the factors have to come out right in the end. I have done things as specific as a Southern Sour (Jack Daniels, SoCo and sprite) and things as common as a Cosmopolitan (cranberry juice, vodka and a spot of vermouth).

This show I am working with the kid and adult friendly hot chocolate. Kids get to enjoy delicious hot chocolate and adults get to enjoy delicious schnapps flavored hot chocolate! Brilliant! So far we have the classic peppermint, cinnamon (which is my favorite), butterscotch (a suggestion from a mammoth) and raspberry. And for an extra added cocktail, one of my darling co-lobby vixens suggested a White Christmas Dream (amaretto, vodka and cream with a dash of nutmeg!). Let's just say it is going to be jolly around here this year.

I'll let you know what makes the final cut. And maybe I'll offer a coupon or two!
