While there, enjoy the Ornamentini at Cibolo Moon, a delicious combination of mint and chocolate spirits and warm up by the fireplaces in our lobby.

In With the Old Fashioned for New Years Eve!

We often hear the phrase “out with the old, in with the new” when New Year’s rolls around, but at the JW Marriott Resort and Spa we believe in refreshing the classics and combining them with new favorite trends. If you’re looking for a new cocktail this holiday season, sip on the “In With the Old Fashioned” cocktail at the 18 Oaks Bar.

A combination of Chambord, Champagne, fresh raspberries, and a splash of lemon juice, this cocktail combines the best elements of classic holiday favorites with something new and special. Mix it at home with this recipe.

In With the Old Fashioned

1 oz. Chambord

          1 oz. Champagne

1 scoop vanilla ice cream

          8 fresh raspberries

          Splash fresh lemon juice

Muddle raspberries. Then add 1 scoop of vanilla ice cream to shaker, Chambord, and champagne. Shake and strain into a martini glass. Garnish with raspberries.

Happy New Year – Welcome 2020!
