Inspiration for Love Potion: Family Edition

Legend has it that the great lover Casanova had a dozen fresh oysters everyday, a creature of great sexual agility and prowess. Worth its weight in gold during Roman times, it was also the vessel upon which Aphrodite, the Goddess of Love, was born. This has inspired one of the elements – Amaretto di Saronno, the romantic Italian almond liqueur with a love story behind its creation.

Since January’s theme will include Port, the famous fortified wine from Portugal, we’ve included a forecast of it here. Amidst a harsh and arid landscape, out of which only a small part has seen successful cultivation, this is truly a wine born out of adversity. Through good times and bad, the festive seasons are also times to celebrate another kind of love – family.

Love Potion: Family Edition, characterized by raspberries in a stiff mix, is presented in a delicate port sipper glassware. The idea for the use of the luxurious berries as one of the leading flavors arose from it been one of the items that pairs well with port. The comfort and warmth of the vanilla and whiskey completes the dreamy little concoction, with the sweet embrace of a golden hue, like snuggling by the fireplace.
