Idler Eggnog
This holiday season you deserve to treat yourself to a classic style cocktail, the flip. People have been adding eggs to cocktails for a long time and Eggnog is at the top of the list. This month we’re honoring this classic style in a way that is modern and approachable.
Idler, a fitting name for a cocktail that finds it’s home at the end of the year. When the Idler ended service in 1935 she was last of the classic paddle wheelers on Canandaigua Lake. Happy Holidays!
