Infused Booze
It's not hard to get your hands on a craft cocktail these days—one of those works of art with floral infusions, flamed orange peel, and at least two ingredients you've never heard of in the description. But they'll cost you, and I've run up quite a tab this year. Funnily enough, my 2013 New Year's resolution was to learn how to make a signature cocktail (read: something more alluring than a whiskey soda). With less than 20 days before 2014, I'm finally making good on my resolution.
