A Taste of Spring (without the sunshine)

    So it's March 25th and the snow is falling.  I went to school today knowing the snow would be falling but somehow it's still like a punch in the stomach.  Upon returning home, I resolved to improve my spirits.  The rage among the healthy nuts now is detox drinks so I half-hearted ly scanned the drink recommendations from Dr. oz and Runners World.  Then I had an epiphany,  if it's not springtime outside, so I need a touch of spring in a glass.  

     I built my spring drink around a solid Spring base of my brother and sister-in-laws pure Maine Maple Syrup found at http://mainesugarworks.com/ (1 oz.)

Then I added 1 oz. of my own sunshine in a bottle in the form of Cassel Vineyards Chocolate Ruby Port http://casselvineyards.com/ .  finally I added 2 oz. of Bourbon and shook it all up and poured it all over ice cubes.  The drink turned out amazing.  It improved my attitude despite the snow and frigid temperatures.     I call my drink The Spring Retox.  

     I hope you enjoy it.  If you have another Cassel Vineyards drink you would like to share I would love to hear about it.
