End of the Jam Jar Martini
Promise us one thing! You’ll never throw away another jam jar with a smidge of flavor in the bottom. It’s a cocktail just waiting to be shaken . . . in the jar. We love Bonne Maman for their quality and intense flavors. And if you’ve ever needed an excuse to purchase their epic Advent calendar, cocktail hour is your reason. Invite some friends over and let everyone shake up their coupe of choice!
