SANTA MONICA, CA — The pandemic may have put the kibosh on grand get-togethers for Thanksgiving 2020. But that doesn't mean "festive" is out the door.
Californians, who appreciate a tasty, well-crafted cocktail, can give thanks this year to mixologists from Fia Restaurant in Santa Monica, who shared their signature recipes for the"Milano Manhattan" and the "Wake Up Call."
Enjoy, and Happy Thanksgiving, from Patch!
