Yummy Plummy Treats – and a Naughty Toddy
Add Whimsy to the Holidays at the Ritz-Carlton, Atlanta (Downtown)
Upon seeing the hotel’s new holiday décor shimmering in deep, rich shades of plum and purple, Executive Chef Andy Litherland instantly knew the special ingredient for this year’s holiday treats: sweet, fresh plums. Guests may enjoy his superbly delectable selections December evenings in Lumen, the hotel’s lobby bar.
Pair the Baked Camembert Encroute with Winter Spiced Plum Preserve ($12) with a favorite wine. Or share the Sweet Plum Sampler ($9), brimming with Glitter Plum Cookies, Eggnog Caramel Popcorn with Salty Chocó Pecans, Plum Linzer Cookies, Chocolate Plum Pops and Nutty Plum Biscotti, with a table of friends.
Joining in the plum-fest, the hotel’s mixologists answer the age-old question: “Naughty or nice?” The Sugar Plum is deliciously nice, made with acai blueberry vodka, Chambord and a splash of cranberry, pomegranate and plum juices. The Naughty Toddy is created with Michter’s Small Batch Bourbon, hot orange spice and cinnamon and garnished with bourbon sugar cubes.
