Drinks

1. Blue Moon Cocktail
2. Whiskey Sour
3. Cinnamon Apple Cider Sangria
4. Earl Grey Gin Spritz

Blue Moon Cocktail

• 1 cup crushed ice
• 1/4 cup vodka
• 1/4 cup blue curaçao
• 1/4 cup whipping cream
• 2 tablespoons vanilla-flavored syrup (such as Torani)
• 2 tablespoons fresh orange juice
• 1 tablespoon Cointreau or other orange-flavored liqueur

1. Combine all ingredients in a blender, and whirl until smooth.
2. Pour into four martini glasses (4 oz.)
3. Garnish the rim of each glass with a slice of orange.

Whiskey Sour

• 2 ounces bourbon or rye whiskey
• ¾ ounce fresh lemon juice (freshly squeezed is key for flavor)
• ½ ounce simple syrup (adjust to taste, more for sweeter, less for tarter)
• ½ ounce egg white (optional, for a frothy, silky texture)
• Garnish: Angostura bitters, a maraschino cherry, and/or an orange slice/peel

1. Add the whiskey, lemon juice, simple syrup, and egg white (if using) to a cocktail shaker.
2. Shake:
   1. Dry Shake (if using egg white): Seal the shaker and shake vigorously for 10–30 seconds without ice. This aerates the egg white to create a rich foam.
   2. Wet Shake: Fill the shaker with ice and shake again for 15–20 seconds, until well-chilled.
3. Strain and Serve:
   1. On the rocks: Strain the mixture into a rocks glass filled with fresh ice.
   2. Served “up”: Strain the mixture into a chilled coupe or cocktail glass without ice.
4. Garnish with a few drops of Angostura bitters on the foam, and an orange slice and/or a maraschino cherry.

• 2 cups apple cider
• ½ cup orange juice
• 3 cinnamon sticks
• 2 apples (honeycrisp or Granny Smith)
• 1 orange
• ½ cup brandy
• OPTIONAL - Prosecco

1. Chop the apples and slice the orange and add to a large pitcher.
2. Add in the cinnamon sticks, brandy, wine, orange juice and apple cider. Stir together with a spoon.
3. Let sit in the fridge for at least 3 hours, but longer is better to really let the flavors mingle.
4. Pour into glasses
5. Can add prosecco to add some fizz
