Of the Sugar House, WWJ writes:
Sugar House has your back when it comes to spot-on renditions of old classics swirled with some modern twists and turns, and maybe even a high-speed car chase somewhere along the way. The Sugar House makes a mean drink called the cranberry smash, perfect to get the holiday ball rollin’. And there’s punch – actual punch served from a punch bow like the one grandma displayed on her credenza. The Ghost of Christmases in the past have included root beer egg nog punch, talk about a thrilling way to end a killer day. Sugar House has also been known to serve up a tall mug of warm spiked cider – the perfect way to combat a chilly winter eve.Allan Lengel
