Holiday Cocktail Ideas :: Persimmon Old Fashioned

Pat and I were originally headed out of town for a give day hike on Wednesday, so my intent was to sign off and leave you with this Persimmon Old Fashioned cocktail plus best wishes for the Thanksgiving holiday! It’s been really rainy here in San Francisco though, and as much as I love the outdoors, hiking in torrential downpour in Northern California is just not how I want to spend my favorite holiday!So I’m having Staycation round 2, with a little Friendsgiving action thrown in the mix. We also have some exciting life changes here at Casa Sweet that will be keeping us busy through the long weekend (spoiler alert: I’m not pregnant!).

Seriously though, I’m so thankful to everyone who reads A Side of Sweet for all the support, the comments, the emails and the general good vibes around here. It really makes all the hard work that goes into recipe development, photography, writing and keeping up with social media all worth it! You’re the best!

    I hear ya on the rain! Every single time I walked out the door last week, it would either drizzle heavily or rain! I suppose I should be grateful that California is getting rain right now. I love this persimmon old fashioned recipe! What a great way to use persimmons!

      In the big picture, I’m definitely grateful for the rain. But when it comes to planning camping trips or stepping outside with freshly-straightened hair, I can’t help but be a little annoyed! 🙂

      I agree, in the big picture, I’m so grateful for the rain, but when I walk outside with freshly straightened hair….mrrrph! It will be nice to be home for a teeny staycation with Pat though!

    Aw – sad you’ll be missing your epic hike, but at least you’ll have a fun friendsgiving after all.

      Truly, turkey is one of my favorite things on the planet. And mashed potatoes. And brussels sprouts. And PIE. It’s not a bad trade, is it?
