Escargot

This escargot was a Christmas Eve tradition for many years at our neighbors' holiday party (it paired nicely with the traditional Ketel One screwdrivers!) When the party was retired, our family adopted the tradition, and the smell of garlicky goodness still fills the house every Christmas Eve...

Here is the original recipe (Ruth's), and the recipe as we've modified it over the years.

Tailgate Sangria

Fall Tailgate Sangria... delicious!

I found a Pinterest recipe and modified it a bit... doubled all ingredients, added lime and caramel vodka,  and increased the amount of cider. Here's what I used:

6 cups cider (I added more after everything sat overnight.)
2 bottles white wine (Pinot Grigio, I believe)
4 bottles ginger beer
1 cup caramel vodka
2 red delicious apples
2 golden delicious apples
2 lemons
2 oranges
1 Granny Smith Apple
1 lime

Slice the fruit, combine all ingredients to soak overnight. Add more cider in the morning if needed. Add ice and serve!

Soak overnight... the next day, just add ice!
