The Intoxicologist

The Italian Christi.  Creamy, smooth with a hint of tart and berry sweetness.  This cocktail is perfect for a summer day.  It is easy, breezy and inviting.  Often the garnish is just as fun to create as the cocktail.  Garnish is not just fluff.  In fact it is decoration to whet our appetite.  Garnish provides aesthetic appeal, scent and charm to a cocktail.
