As winter is here, it’s time to pack on the layers of clothes to get warm and cozy up with a soul soothing drink in hand. So, at Flair Project we have come up with the perfect cocktail to do just that this winter season. Apples tend to remind us of home and family, as they are so often used in comfort food and holiday meals. With that in mind, we decided on a folksy recipe, seasonal harvest, and a touch of warming Scotch liqueur. The “Go for Granny” is perfect for a featured drink at your bar, a get together with friends, or a lazy afternoon with the family.
