What would be the best thing in the world? Cocktails shipped to your door. And by door, I mean shipped to the UPS office since no one is 21+ years old to sign for your package and they think some underage person will happen to steal this particular box from your house since they can smell booze like a 6th sense…but I digress.

Julibox.com is probably the best “… of the month” I have found on the web so far. I’ll do a complete review of their delivery next week. For the meantime, I present the Winter Sidecar.

Winter Sidecar

• 1 3/4 Oz – Xante Pear Cognac
• 3/4 Oz Disaronno
• 1 Oz Lemon Juice
• Shake with ice, double strain into a sugar rimmed cocktail glass and garnish with a lemon twist

This cocktail is super delicious. I had a fear it would be too sweet as I am not normally a fan of Disaronno (especially their current on-air TV spots) but it was a great flavor balance. Because of this cocktail, I am now in love with Xante. Can we get it in Michigan…no. But such is the life we choose to live in a controlled state.

I highly recommend the cocktail and the Julibox service.

Budmo!
