Top It Off

Even if you are doing a simple mock tail or just a glass of champagne, adding some toppings gives it that extra touch. Here’s a few garnishes that I love to add:

-Fresh pomegranates
-Sprigs of rosemary
-Cranberries or mixed berries
-Cinnamon sticks
-Ice cubes frozen with mint leaves in them
