The Gin Professors are busy elves this week getting ready for the holidays, including trying out some new recipes to serve our family and friends. Both the Black Forest Gin Martini and Cherry Cordial received high praise from family members. As the name suggests, the Black Forest Gin Martini has a similar flavor profile to a black forest cake. The cherry liqueur is forward in the Cherry Cordial, reminding us of the cherries you might find in a holiday candy box.
