I am getting in the holiday spirit, despite the weather being above 80 degrees since we returned home from New York.  I decorated my house, put up the tree, and have been blaring Christmas music all day everyday (I'm driving Canean crazy with it), but I secretly think he likes it.  My favorite thing to do every night has been cozying up on the couch with a book by the tree and perhaps a glass or two of red wine and have been thinking that maybe I should just leave a tree up all year long...that wouldn't be crazy would it?  Anyway, when we were in New York I had a beet cocktail that surprised me in the all the right ways.  I knew that this week I had to make a a version of it that would be perfect for the holidays!  The beet twist is totally unexpected in all the right ways, and it's basically like helping your body detox as you are drinking, soooo...it's good for you.

Do you like how I did that right there?  Made a cocktail good for you?
