Thinking ahead…cocktails for Bonfire night!

It’s just around the corner and I can barely believe it..BONFIRE night in the UK (November 5th)!  Several years ago I was in Cambridge for the massive festivities they have every year. I remember running between the boat houses (as I was dating a rower) and trying out all the different cocktails that I could in one night. Needless to say, the next morning I was worshipping the porcelain gods and wishing I had stuck to champagne. I do, however, remember one drink that really got my attention that I could have sipped all night. I didn’t have the focus needed at the time to think I should ask about what it was I was lusting after.  But I do remember it was like having a firework go off in my mouth. Just imagine my surprise at receiving an email this morning from Courvoisier which I believe is exactly the cocktail I was drinking…if it is in fact the same all I can say is this is a MUST for your Bonfire parties this year. Fireworks in your mouth, fireworks in the sky….yeehaw!
