Our first Drink of the Week is the Voyant Root beer Float! You simply must try it! Made with root beer and Voyant Chai liqueur, this is a fun, sweet drink with the classic taste of chai....nutmeg and Cinnamon! In a short glass, mix root beer over ice and add 1 oz of Voyant Chai creme liqueur. Stir and enjoy.

This is great in coffee as well!

I've been working on all our beer inventory this week.  This is one our fastest growing areas in Greenfield Liquors, particularly the microbrews and imports.  We have beers from around the world and our own backyard.   Some of the names are FUN!   Gumball Head, Aged Yeti, Dead Guy Ale, Hazed and Infused and Hoppin' Frog..just to name a few.  We have mix and match 6 packs and many singles available so you can try one at a time!

Full Moon Winter Ale by Blue Moon 

As the winter storm threatens, here at Greenfield Liquors we are embracing winter with a special on Blue Moon's Full Moon Ale. This is a great beer!  The beer reviews suggest the aroma is warm and nutty to start with and it pours a nice rich, amber. There is an essence of brown sugar that comes through very well.  The flavor reflects the aroma as this is a mellow, relaxed beer with deep nutty malts and a velvety texture.

So...get it while it lasts and snuggle up by the fire and enjoy the snow!
Full Moon, regularly $8.11 now $6.79 while supplies last!

(Alcohol reviews)

It is time to get comfortable with your favorite jeans and this new wine! It is part of Americanna to end a tough day and go home and slip into your favorite jeans. This wine is made with the same philosophy...relaxed and comfortable, yet original.  This red wine is a blend of Syrah, Zinfandel, Cabernet Franc and many others to keep it interesting.  The aroma is raspberries and a hint of the zinfandel spice.  The flavors are juicy plum with a touch of oaky vanilla on the finish.  It is  semi-dry and easy to drink going easily from pizza to steak.  At  $8.79 a bottle, it is comfortable on your wallet as well.

I love their catch phrase:  Blue, it's the new Red!!!

OK, I know the Colts are not there, but at least we can have a party to cheer for the Giants!  If not, I guess you can just drown your sorrows until next year.

We just had a tasting of the Diagio line of pre mixed drinks that make it easy to get the party going...just add ice!  They have all several different styles.  One is the Smirnoff Grand Cosmopolitan, made with vodka, cranberry and Grand Marnier.  Another is the Jose Cuervo Golden Margarita.  It is ready to serve with the tequila right in it along with a touch of Grand Marnier for a great flavor.  The Friday's line of drinks are also included.  Flavors like Mudslide and Orange Dream are favorites.  The snacks or ice are on the house with a $2.00 off offer!

A pair of Jacks beats a full house! This new drink recipe was a highlight

from a recent visit to Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse. Although I do not have

all the details….here are the ingredients. Use your imagination and put

these together to make your own!

• Absolute Pear Vodka
• Cranberry juice
• Simple syrup
• Triple Sec Liqueur
• Fresh lemon
• Bitters and Ginger ale

Mixed Drink Recipes:

We rang in the New Year with my best effort on the fabulous "Mortini" from the famous Morton's Steakhouse!   This is one of my favorite drinks! Their pomegranate martini was topped with a unique, tantilizing pear-cinnamin foam.   The passion fruit was the only ingredient I was not able to find on short notice, but the classic pomegranate worked well as a base.

Base:  Rose's pomegranate drink mix
          Grey Goose Vodka
          Twist of Lemon
          **mix in shaker with plenty of ice**

Topping:  (prepare this first)
         pasturized egg whites, whip to make 1 cup foam
         3 TBS Pear puree
         2 TBS white sugar
         1 TBS Goldschlager Liqueur
         ***stir gently into foam and spoon on top of base***

Big Tattoo White, Two Brothers

Good wine for a great cause!  This blend is a mix between a semi-sweet/dry Riesling and a sense of the full bodied Pinot Blanc grape, which is very similar to the Chardonnay grape.  This wine has a sweet tart taste on first sip and completes itself with an interesting pear and melon finish.  This would make a nice food wine and $.50 of every bottle sold goes towards breast cancer research!

The brothers lost their mother to breast cancer and took action to save others in a fun way.  Buy some wine and make a difference for someone's Mom!!  Click to read more about the Big Tattoo Wines.

Malvasia Di Castlenuovo Don Bosco

This bubbly, soft red wine, is from a delightful Italian winery.  After tasting this wine for the first time, I was very pleased to find that although I was expecting an overly sweet dessert wine, the wine was light and refreshing.  The aroma of the wine had a hint of cherry.  After tasting Malvasia, I found it had a nice strawberry and fruit as well as tiny bubbles which only added to its charm!  This would make a wonderful wine to server as a pre-appetizer drink or to serve with dessert.

Here is your chance to try some new wines! If you haven't met Amanda yet, you are in for a treat! She brings her knowledge of wine and bubbly personality to Greenfield Liquors every Thursday evening from 5-8 p.m. She will be choosing something new every week and looks for a little something for everyone. We often choose small, wineries that bring unique and quality wines that you won't find at the grocery stores! So if you love wine or have never even tried...she will have something for you!!! Come in and join us!

Just today, Amy, my sister-in-law and store buyer, special ordered two bottles of Dom Peringon, Crown Royal XR blended Whiskey and some fine cabernet savignon.  I'm sure you will agree, we get as much beer, wine and liquor as possible in our little store, but we can not carry everything out there!   We are, however, always happy to help you with special orders.  Please stop in or call and ask for Amy or myself, Lizan and we will do our best to track down your favorite wine, micro brew or liquor.

This is a beautiful set.  The Ciroc Vokda 750ml is accompanied by a pair of fabulous martini glasses with the signature blue dot in the stem.  Did you know that this five time distilled vodka is produced from grapes?

It wouldn't be the holidays without the Crown Royal Gift Set.  The 750ml bottle with two cocktail glasses is our most popular gift set.  Crown Royal sets the standard for blended whiskey and makes a perfect gift.  The 750 ml set retails for $29.99 and the 1.75 L bottle with pouring stand is available for $54.99.

This is quite a set!  It has a sharp looking case containing all three of the famous

Patron styles, Anejo, Silver and Reposado.  All are full size, 750ml bottles.  This set retails for $149.

I love this time of the year! We are looking forward to a wonderful holiday season. We are now stocked up with this year’s best gift sets. These make wonderful gifts! We have the best selection in Greenfield.  We have Kaluha Liqueur, Crown Royal Canadian Whiskey, Ciroc Vodka, Hypnotic Liqueur, Budweiser Beer, Jack Daniels , MacCallan Scotch, Patron Tequila, Gosling Black Seal Rum, Starbucks Liqueur, Jaegermeister Liqueur and many more.

Stop in and pick yours out, they will sell out quickly!  I've got some pictures so you can take a sneak peak....
