December Delights
Cassara Kitchen & Bar serving up a festive lineup of cocktails and bites
This season, Cassara Kitchen & Bar is inviting guests to enjoy a taste of winter with its special offerings, available from December 1 through December 31. With festive drinks and delicious small bites, there’s plenty to indulge in while celebrating the most wonderful time of the year.
Kick off the season with the Holiday Sparkle Spritz, a bright and refreshing concoction made with house Cabernet, vodka, St. Germain, lemon, and pomegranate simple syrup, topped with bubbly prosecco. Served over ice and garnished with fresh sage, the festive cocktail is eye-catching, delicious, and ideal for spreading a little holiday cheer.
For something with a taste of tradition, try the Cucidati Margarita, inspired by the classic Italian fig cookie. This unique twist on a margarita features reposado tequila, orgeat, fig jam, and honey, served on the rocks with a rim dipped in Italian shortbread cookie crumbs, finished with a candied fig. It’s a great way to sip into the spirit of the season.
If you’re in the mood for a more refined option, the Deck the Halls Martini is a sophisticated addition to the holiday lineup, with rosemary-infused gin, a hint of absinthe, Amaro Nonino, and St. Germain, served up with a fresh thyme sprig.
To complement the flavorful cocktails, consider pairing them with the Stuffed Holiday Phyllo, a savory treat featuring creamy goat cheese and local honey, all stuffed in a crisp phyllo pastry and placed over a bed of peppery arugula. Topped with pomegranate seeds and accompanied by a sweet fig jam spread, the dish adds a delicious touch of warmth and elegance to your holiday gathering.
