Elsie’s Elegant Elixir Recipe - #ThanksgivingCocktail

As we all continue to celebrate the season of giving, we want to share another one of Grandma Elsie’s famous recipes with you. This time: Elsie’s Elegant Elixir! Toast to the season and the spirit of Grandma Elsie with this delicious cocktail. 

Directions:

Serves 2 (Elsie wouldn’t drink alone).

• Fill a cocktail shaker with ice and add:
  • 3 oz. of Amaretto
  • 3 oz. of vodka
