Wild and Herbaceous ~ Citrus Basil Smash ~ @mermaidgin @isleofwightdistillery

Try something a little unique this holiday season with Mermaid Zest Gin. With a charming combination of tangy citrus, aromatic basil and a hint of sea air, shake up this fine cocktail.

To recreate simply muddle a handful of basil leaves in a shaker, then add Mermaid Zest Gin, lemon juice and sugar syrup with ice and shake. Fine strain into an ice-filled highball glass and top with Mediterranean tonic.

A crowd favorite is back! @troegsbeer seasonal Mad

A crowd favorite is back! @troegsbeer seasonal Mad Elf.

Early November, back in 2002, Troegs founding brothers Chris and John were busy brewing, cleaning, bartending, giving tours on weekends and making sales calls up and down central PA - they hatched a plan to have a little fun. They wanted to brew a big, bold Belgian-style holiday ale with a little something extra. On the very first brew day, the brothers added cherries and honey to the mix and punched out. When they returned the next day, “you could smell this really fruity aroma in the air,” says John. “We were excited…until we got back to the fermentation tanks and found a sticky, foamy mess all over the ground.” That first batch may have gone sideways, but a legend was born. #Troegs #MadElfAle #PABeer
