Our good friend Eric Meyer and his family own the new hot spot in town; Wigle-a white whiskey distillery! Located in our very own Strip District, Wigle offers tours, cocktail making classes and of course...booze!
Last week, while still celebrating RD-ism, my friend Leann (also an RD) and I decided to whip up some new cocktail ideas hoping that one day, they could be featured on their website. We had an amazing time making these tasty treats, and yes, we did practice portion control!
