Description
I am always looking for ways to pair intentional food bites or dishes to my drinks and vice versa. This combination of a citrusy Brandy Crusta and caramelized sweet potato toasts is a good one for serving up at the winter time and holidays using flavors from in-season ingredients with a classic brandy cocktail.
