What garnish works best with the Holiday Almond cocktail?
A twist of lime peel or a few roasted almonds floating on top would complement the nutty, citrus notes of the Holiday Almond cocktail beautifully.

The Holiday Almond cocktail is best served in a brandy glass over ice to keep it cold without diluting the flavors too quickly. Optionally, it can be garnished with a lime twist or almond to enhance its appearance.
What type of occasion is the Holiday Almond cocktail best suited for?
Given its name and flavor profile, the Holiday Almond cocktail is perfect for festive occasions, especially during the winter holidays. Its rich almond and gin base lends itself well to cozy, celebratory gatherings.
