In this edition of “Mix Your Menu,” our ongoing series where we serve up fresh spins on classic cocktails, we focus on the cozy cocktails that consumers will be seeking during the winter months. As the sun sets earlier in the day and temperatures drop throughout the country, you’ll find you need to adjust not just your clocks and thermostat, but your menu as well. Our Breakthru Florida Beverage Development Specialist Alex Alfonso has developed three recipes — two warm and cozy concoctions and one winter twist on a classic mainstay — that will delight your customers until the leaves turn green again.
