Recipe: Scotch Sour

Happy Monday! I hope that you all had a wonderful Christmas. I got to experience my first Christmas in Texas and will continue the celebration when my family arrives today. I got a relaxing weekend with my better half. I even finished a book in one day. I can't remember the last time I did that! Sometimes a good book and a full day of PJ's is just what you need.

With the New Year just around the corner I thought I would share a fun and festive holiday cocktail perfect for entertaining and welcoming 2012. Say hello to the Scotch Sour...
