Great Stocking Stuffers at Dish D’Lish Ballard Café and Our On-Line Store
Don’t know what to get your favorite foodie for Christmas? How about something that will easily tuck into that holiday stocking … Dish D’Lish French Seasoning Salt or some of our homemade jams and preserves. And for a quick and easy appetizer, try pairing our Blueberry Lavender Chutney with soft goat cheese on crostini. And of course what’s a holiday party without some cheer? Try my recipe for Holiday Spiced Pomegranate Fizz —it’s just what the season calls for. And for a sexy non-alcoholic option, try making a Ruby Sparkle with 1 ounce of my Dish D’Lish Red Sangria Mix Cocktailor and 4 to 5 ounces of sparkling water. Serve in a flute or on the rocks, and I like to garnish it with a strip of lemon zest and a sprig of fresh rosemary.
And don’t forget, if you’re in the Ballard neighborhood, to stop by our Dish D’Lish Café & Store for some impromptu tasty shopping and a quick lunch. We’re at 5136 Ballard Ave. NW and are open Monday through Friday from 10:30 AM to 6:00 PM.
Holiday Spiced Pomegranate Fizz
Makes 1 drink
3/4 oz spiced rum
3/4 oz raspberry vodka

3/4 oz pomegranate juice
Tiny splash (about 1/2 oz) chilled soda water
Garnish: freshly grated nutmeg & orange zest
Fill a cocktail shaker with ice. Measure in the rum, raspberry vodka, lemon juice, simple syrup and pomegranate juice. Cap and shake vigorously, then strain into a martini glass. Add a tiny splash of soda water. Do a very light grating of nutmeg over the top of the drink, and drop in the orange zest.
