This will be my last post of the year and I think it’s quite timely as I have another easy cocktail recipe with Cointreau for all of your preparing for a last minute holiday fête. I had a lot of fun putting this shoot together because I already had all the ingredients at home (except the baked goods) and I get to enjoy the cookies from Lotta’s Bakery on Polk Street now.

Christmas is just a few days away and New Years will be right around the corner soon. I’m looking forward to spending some quality time with friends and family this year in Chicago and LA. I wanted to host a holiday party at my house this year but so many things happened this winter, it felt like time just flew by! I’m hoping to prepare early next year and really get in the festive mood with my close friends and family in the Bay Area before flying off to visit the in-laws in the midwest.
