Out of no where we went from summer to full on winter in Ohio. I’m talking high temps in the 20s.

I’m not ready for that foolishness and hope it’s short-lived. That’s the kind of weather we see here in February, not December.

Yesterday morning, I bundled up and made a trip down to Good Day Columbus to share a couple of cocktail recipes with viewers. There is a big game in Columbus this weekend following Thanksgiving, so I wanted to share my spin on a couple drink ideas.

Use these cocktail recipes for an upcoming football game… or even for Thanksgiving this week!
