Many, many years ago my former company, Raise Your Spirits, Inc. and I, had the wonderful opportunity to serve as the exclusive beverage service for a holiday theater program at the Open Stage of Harrisburg in downtown Harrisburg, PA. The comedy show and parody was titled “The Santa Land Diaries” featuring an elf named “Crumpet”. We were responsible for creating a themed signature cocktail and drink menu for the program which ran for two weeks. We were present for setup, service, and cleanup. It was a lot of fun. The signature cocktail was called “The Crumpetini” in honor of the lead character and consisted of fresh, hand-crafted ingredients and an eye-popping garnish perfect for the season and occasion. Below is the cocktail recipe and the cover image is the cocktail. If you would like this cocktail or many other cocktails used for previous events, please let me know. Check out the Raise Your Spirits, Inc page on instagram @raise_ur_spirits for more cocktails, menus, event images, and much more…..Cheers, Michael
