Everyone seems to have down the pre-game cocktail party, but, one aspect that is often overlooked is the desert cocktail. Chocolate cake is great, but a pretty drink for post-dinner seems to be under-appreciated.
To inspire you, I have a lovely gin cocktail that mixes a light floral flavor with bright citrus. A little simple syrup marries the two flavors in a not-too-sweet blend that will end your evening perfectly! Enjoy!
