Cheers! Festive Beverages for the Holidays

In the spirit of the holiday season, now in full swing, we offer two spectacular new recipes for festive beverages. 

Lemon Fizz

For each serving:

1 scoop lemon sorbet
1 flute sparkling wine
splash of Grappa

Place all ingredients in a blender; mix til smooth.  Enjoy.

Low Octane Lemon Fizz:  for kids, designated drivers, or non drinkers of all types, substitute non-alcoholic sparkling cider for the sparkling wine and omit the Grappa.  Be sure to keep track of the different batches....We made these last Thanksgiving and my 6 year old nephew got hold of the wrong glass.  He guzzled it down, made a horrid face, acted rather silly for a bit, and fell asleep in his turkey dinner.

And this toasty treat from Chef Bill Beck of Beck's Cajun Cafe is sure to warm  your hearts and parts...
