“Growing up we always made Spritz cookies around the holidays which are delicious , buttery cookies with roots in Germany and Scandinavia. We would make them with a cookie press and every year I’d really look forward to it! My cocktail brings out the rich , buttery flavor of the cookies with a bit of a kick!”
