Look at “OLIVE THESE” beautiful holiday cocktails! from @allthingspreet. We have partnered with her to create these gorgeous cocktails and mocktails for you to enjoy through your upcoming holiday season!
“Even though these aperitifs are just as beautiful to stare as they are to drink, the amazing thing is that they are made with balsamic vinegars! The right balsamic vinegar can give you just the right amount of sweetness and sass to elevate your basic cocktail to a craft cocktail. And trust me, these stunning cocktails require minimal ingredients and effort. We could all use a little extra time with our feet up and drink in hand – am I right? Personally, our household is always respectful of everybody’s consumption choices, so these cocktails fantastic because they flip as mocktails beautifully without missing a beat!” All Things Preet
