How simple is this? Purchase the e-gift card online, write a personal message and choose who to send it to. The E-Gift Card code is then emailed to the recipient to redeem at their convenience. Or, order a standard gift card, which is mailed to the recipient. (It takes a minimum of five business days so you would be on track for Ukrainian Christmas.) For every card purchased, Robert Spencer Hospitality makes a donation to Ronald McDonald House. Redeem the cards at Workshop Eatery, Greenhouse Restaurants and Woodshed Burgers.
the easiest holiday cocktail
Meuwly’s Lemon Cordial makes quick work out of cocktail making. Its sweet to sour ratio is perfectly calibrated and it tastes so fresh. In a cocktail shaker over ice, pour ½ c mezcal (or whisky, or rum). Add a scant ½ c Meuwly’s Lemon Cordial. Shake for about 40 seconds. Pour into two cocktail glasses. Garnish with a lemon or lime slice, if you have. Easy peasy.

Anything from Daniel Costa’s (Corso 32) Christmas Eve menu would hit the spot. We are especially enamoured of the Sicilian-inspired prawns. Buy the large wild Argentine shrimp for the best result.
