Shhhhh… do you hear that? Spooky season music is slowly fading away, that Mariah Carey festive jingle is making its sleigh-driven way across the radio waves and us Funner foodies are starting to talk turkey. It sounds like November! But while most are thawing out that Butterball or dusting off their holiday decorations, we here at Harrah’s Resort SoCal are embracing Fall’s sipping season. A time of year when those “chilly” 75-degree evenings require a sip or two from a refined cocktail to keep you warm and toasty. If a regal-inspired happy hour sounds like just the thing to calm the nerves before the holiday rush, then sip on what we’re shaking up with the Grand Marnier Sour.
Boasting sweet, sour and woody notes that are perfect for the newbees and cocktail aficionados alike, the Grand Marnier Sour combines the classic flavors of Grand Marnier with the refined and citric taste of Apricot Giffard Brandy. Topped with a sweet and silky foam shaken to pillowy perfection, this cocktail is sure to regal-fy any happy hour!
