A Tasty Way To Ring In The New Year
To ring in the new year, we've mixed up something tasty and it's a great alternative to just popping champagne. We love a classic vodka martini with two olives, but we're always looking for a fun variation around the holidays. This year is no exception. The martini we’ll be serving at our NYE party this year mixes a little sweetness with peppery herbaceous notes.
Check out the recipe for this Vanilla, Pepper, and Thyme Martini for a new twist on something old. Bring on 2022 in style.

You can make the simple syrup today, squeeze the lemons a couple hours before your gathering and set up a martini station on your bar or counter before guests arrive. Then go slip on your party shoes, turn up the music and get ready to say hello to 2022.
