For Christmas we wanted to come up with a cocktail that played on the theme of Silent Night.  It needed to be a drink with the ability to lull one off into a deep sleep.  Googling “Silent Night Cocktail” we found varied recipes from creamy concoctions to tropical mixes, but nothing that particularly suggested sleep.  So, taking matters in our own hands, we crafted a warm nightcap that will relax the mind and body and send one off into a blissful slumber.  It is meant to be enjoyed in bed just before you are ready to go to sleep, under a warm blanket and should be consumed as hot as is bearable.  For it to work best one should shut off the tv, put away all smart devises and just RELAX! We hope you enjoy what we have dubbed the “Silent Slumber Cocktail”.

In a pre-warmed Mug add:

• 2 Ounces Barbados Rum (we used Mt Gay though any gold rum will do)
• 6 Ounces Piping Hot Lavendar Tea
• 1 Ounce Local Honey
• 1/2 Ounce Fresh Squeezed Lime Juice

Stir and garnish with a fresh sprig of Lavender (optional).  Drink as hot as bearable & sleep well!
