I hosted a holiday happy hour for friends to kick off the Christmas season. It was also day two of two weeks that John was traveling so it felt like good timing! Since friends were bringing the cookies (and appetizers), I focused on the cocktails. I made pitchers of Sugar Cookie Martinis which were served in frosted sugar rimmed cups and a Christmas Old Fashioned with sugared cranberries on toothpicks. About 20 ladies joined me for the festivities and we had a lovely time eating and drinking and chatting. Lucy stole the show with her sweet nature and good manners (not jumping or barking).
