Though I sure do love a margarita, there is another splendid drink  that is not only pretty and festive but darn tasty for the holidays.  The Sidecar is a wonderful classic cocktail and I thought rather than give you a turkey recipe (since I hope that turkey is already in the oven, and so do your guests!) I’d give you a spirit recipe to liven up the watching of your favorite football team or any conversation with friends and family.

I am incredibly grateful to all of you for making this a spectacular first year for PreppyBaba.  I have some of the greatest readers in the whole wide Dandi universe and for that I am thankful.

Have a most spectacular Dandi Thanksgiving!
