Notes
This is a Snap Pea Sheep recipe
Jalapeño stuffed olives are wonderful little bursts of salt and heat. Any green olives will work here but my husband loves the heat.
This is purposely a non alcoholic beverage. While Harry and I detox our bodies, we have decided to abstain alcohol but still have a cocktail hour!
Any bitters will work but they not necessary. Add a little more juice or another type of juice like grapefruit or orange to round out the drink.
