On Christmas Eve Eve, it seems like the perfect time to share a festive drink ingredient that was borne of the kind of leftovers that usually get tossed and a desire to make something a little magical for the holidays.
'Tis the season for special occasions. So just before a host of different holidays begin, I thought I'd share a recent special occasion dish of my very own with you. Feel free to make it yours as well. After all, it's a wonderful time of the year for sharing!
