Cranberry Mint Martini
  • 2 lemon wedges
  • fresh mint leaves
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 2 shots of vodka

Muddle lemons, mint, sugar. Add vodka, cranberry juice, ice and shake. Strain into glass.

Egg Nog
  • 6 eggs separated
  • 3/4 cup light rum
  • 3/4 cup Jim Beam
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 quart milk
  • 1 cup sugar
  • powdered nutmeg
  • several sprigs of fresh mint (optional)

Chill all liquid ingredients in the refrigerator beforehand. Whip egg whites until stiff and set aside. Whip cream and set aside. Place egg yokes in a large bowl, add sugar and beat until creamy. Add rum and Jim Beam, and beat for one minute more. Add milk and beat. Add whipped cream, and then the beaten egg whites, and beat very gently at a slow speed until the egg whites are broken up, but the mixture is still foamy. Serve in glass mugs.
