Monica Glass, an award-winning pastry chef and the owner of Cambridge’s Verveine Cafe and Bakery, joined Boston 25′s Nicole Gabe to share sweet treats and cocktail combinations for the holidays.
Pomegranate Mimosa paired with cinnamon rolls
Combine two parts KORBEL Sweet Rosé with one part pomegranate juice for a tart twist of tastiness.
Garnish with rosemary sprig and a spoon of pomegranate seeds.

Chef Glass adds one of her signature holiday cookies right onto the glass as a garnish.

This is a lower-proof cocktail perfect for the holidays to help moderate alcohol intake but is still bursting with flavor.
