Just in time for Saturday morning brunch here is a perfect substitute for the boring old Mimosa.
Inspired by the classic Tequila Sunrise, and made with a favorite classic Italian liqueur.

Limoncello Sunrise
1 ounce limoncello
3 ounces fresh orange juice
Splash of grenadine

History of Limoncello
It's impossible to say exactly who invented limoncello, but it appears to have originated in southern Italy in the early 1900s. Some stories say that it was created by the local women, who served it chilled to honored guests. Others say that the liqueur originated with the area fishermen, who sipped it in the mornings before heading out to fight the chill, or with local monks who sipped it between prayers. No matter who invented it, limoncello makes use of the big, sweet lemons grown in Sorrento, Italy and the surrounding area.

Stop by The Jug today and pick up all the needed ingredients for this refreshing cocktail that will turn your brunch into something special!

More snow in our forecast this weekend. Stop by The Jug for some rum and make this favorite cold weather drink.
Hot Buttered Rum
A very simple recipe, a shot or two of dark rum, a spoonful of brown sugar, and a pat of butter, in a mug with hot water or milk. Sprinkle with nutmeg, and you have a drink you won't want to put down until spring.

Hangover remedies for those of you that might have indulged a bit too much last night!

Prevention is the best cure for a hangover. The only way to avoid a pounding head and queasiness the morning after is to drink in moderation, or to stay away from alcohol entirely. But with all sorts of seasonal celebrations going on, it's easy to overindulge.
