01 Dec Line 21’s Favourite Libations
It’s the holiday season—when friends gather to enjoy each other’s company, make merry, and lift a glass in celebration. If you’re wondering what beverage to serve, we have a suggestion or two, based on Line 21 staff’s favourite libations…and not a drop of eggnog in the mix!
In no particular order:
Kelly: French 75.
Carolyn: Kir Royale. Because it’s festive, sparkly, and fun!
Siri: I’m not much of a cocktail person, but I was handed a warm brandy last winter, and it was kind of magical to sip.
Dawn: Most often I’m Perrier with lots of lime, but I also enjoy a Bellini or Amaretto on the rocks with a twist.
Patricia: Bellini.
Leslie: Appletini (specifically the one made by Glowbal). Note, this Appletini recipe is not from Glowbal, but it’s pretty good.
Soo: I like beer—Red Truck is pretty good.
Steffani: Easy to please, Steffani prefers wine.
Will: Manhattan. No special occasion required.
Rachel: Chai. Although I drink it year-round, in December, chai says “Christmas” to me.
