For those who love the flavor of orange, or when you need a bold green signature cocktail, consider the Neon Daddy.  Very easy to make and very easy on the tongue as well.

HOLIDAY BLING: Mantel Decorations

by Chef Mitch

The mantel is one of my favorite spots for display in our house.  This year I employed a traditional color scheme, (for a change), and went with red, green and sliver.  And of course I worked in some of my vintage glass collection, such as the emerald green decanter.

More details about how I created this look can be found on the Kitchen Queers web site here: http://www.kitchenqueers.com/party/holidaymantel2014/
