Musk You Ask?
We love this pretty as a picture drink for Christmas entertaining. We hope you do too.
The 12 Mocktails of Christmas, Day Nine:
How pretty is this one? We love it!
So first you have to infuse some vodka, or the Lyres London Spirit with good old fashioned musk sticks. Remember those? I used to love them, they are not the same as when I was a kid. You could literally suck the point until it became as sharp as a pencil, alas no more. But they do infuse the colour and flavour that makes this drink a bit special directly into the spirit.
(Actually, according to our mixologist, you can swap out the infusing vodka business and use pink gin instead, don't stay I never give you anything. But you should at least wave a musk stick over the top of the drink...even if you don't like musk!)
