Les Fougere's Christmas Cocktail
"Delicious. With permission from the owners: "an excellent aperitif as it is based on fruit and wine rather than spirits so it will not 'spoil' or numb the palate before a special meal. It features Neige Ice Cider, another distinctive and beautiful Quebec product from the Hemmingford region. It was created for us by internationally acclaimed and award winning sommelier (and our former somellier and manager) Veronique Rivest"
Les Fougere's is one of the best restaurants I have been to, and thankfully they are near me. Award winning food and drink and they have shared many in a cookbook whose proceeds go to a local charity."

This is good and very festive. I love the color. Made for Holiday Tag. -
I couldn't fine ice cider so had to use the regular kind. Never the less this is marvelous. It's festive, simple and very good! I also had to do without the frozen cranberries this time. It has a very nice sweet-tart flavor and will be seen at my house this holiday season more than once. Thanks for posting this Marra. Made for Photo Tag.

I am a middle aged foodie who has had the luxury of living all over the world except asia. Lived in or grew up in Nigeria, Kenya, Chicago, Russia,and haiti. born in New Zealand, brother born in Austria and many more.
I have chronic medication resistant depression after 10 years on anti depressants that worked well but would stop working after a year or two, so now do my best at home living on disabilty. Not a bad thing, many have far worse health issues but i have been able to concentrate on food/cooking.
My main passions are my cats. I live in the woods and somehow many starving strays or "dumps" have found the message babies who passed on left in the woods saying "suck lives at xxxx road. Most arrive sick and/or starving. Right now i have 2 that arrived with feline herpes and their attendant 2ndry bacterial infections but are doing beautifully. One old man who was going to be euthanized bc a lady who found him as a stray was moving and didnt want him...well he was a biter and rather grumpy who was in ICU for 3 days with a deadly gut infection which was fixed but he left with a diagnosis of diabetes. 3 months on insulin and finally diet controlled and he caught the herpes virus, respiratory symptom version and turned into a cuddler. Butterscotch must think "why didnt i figure out this cuddle stuff was great before i got sick!" Doing wonderfully even though he has bouts. he and the other kids are my babies. Sadly Butterscotch died of Lymphatic cancer in winter of 2008. A year before Big Boy arrived in my life, starving and weak. Full of affection he jumped into my arms and stayed, turns out he has FIV (cat hiv) so he needs to be watched closely. I love him dearly
