 There’s a certain magic that descends over a Southern holiday table, a blend of candlelight and clinking glasses, where the stories flow as freely as the spirits. This week on Cornbread & Buttermilk, we’re tipping our hats—and our glasses—to the art of the perfect holiday cocktail. From the sinful sweetness of bourbon-laced nog to the crisp tang of a citrus punch, we’re dusting off the family recipe box and stirring up something special.
Speaking of family, Sherbert, the culinary cat of the South, will make his pick for the holiday cocktail that pairs best with his signature sass. But the star of the show? Aunt Sally’s heirloom eggnog recipe—a creamy elixir that’s seen more Christmases than we can count and holds the soul of Southern tradition in every sip.
Join us for A Southern Toast: Perfect Cocktails and a Heirloom Eggnog Recipe, where the drinks are chilled, the stories are warm, and the season is served up just right.
