Well it's the Christmas season and yesterday the population of the Big Island picked up. Traffic was higher the beaches were busier and Costco was a shit show.
This is one of the busiest travel times. But what do you do well patience is one thing, second get going earlier to beat the rush if you want that favourite spot at the beach. We go to a private beach 40 cars a day are all that it takes in or walk two miles across lava. The next two weeks it gets real stupid till Jan 2 when all the families go home.
Costco go early and trips around condo go early basically beat the rush.
The Harvest Sparkle
Ingredients:
For the cider honey syrup:
1/2 cup
¼ teaspoon ground ginger
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
1 cup orange juice
For a large batch/pitcher (serves 18):
2 ¼ cups whiskey or bourbon
1 ½ cups of the cider honey syrup (entire batch)
2 ¼ cups prosecco, champagne, or sparkling white wine
9 sprigs of rosemary
For a single cocktail:
1 ounce whiskey or bourbon
1 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon cider honey syrup
1 ounce prosecco, champagne, or sparkling white wine (or enough to top off the glass)
½ sprig of rosemary
Directions:
In a small saucepan over medium heat, whisk the honey, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, and orange juice together until it starts to bubble. Remove from heat and let it cool for 5 minutes.
In a pitcher or shaker, mix the honey syrup and whiskey together with a good amount of ice so that it is completely chilled. Strain into a different pitcher or serving glass. (Note: caution that you don’t let the honey and whiskey mixture sit in the ice for too long so that it doesn’t get watered down.)
Keep refrigerated.
Just before serving, add prosecco to top off the glass and garnish with a ½ sprig of rosemary.
Ah enjoy!
Well what other travel tips do others have for busy Christmas break.
Merry Christmas to all on Agriville from my family to yours! And best in 2017!
