Ah the holidays…if there’s ever a time of year to be totally justified in overindulging, this is it.

Starting with the food coma we call Thanksgiving, to brunches and holiday party stops along the way, coupled with the onslaught of baked goods that seems to never end, all the way until the hangover that marks the beginning of the New Year – well, let’s just say good thing it’s the season for puffy jackets and resolutions.

If you’re really lucky however, you have that one family member or co-worker who knows to leave the cookies at home and bring on the holiday homemade booze instead. Might as well be drinking those calories, am I right?!

¼ tsp almond or coconut extract
