If it's easier to buy it, buy it.

You know what?

No.

If it works for people, it works for me.

Exactly.

So, Gilbert, what is your kind of go-to holiday?

That sounds great.

I like the idea of what Melissa says, though, of adding your aromatics.

I think whatever kind of base you're going with, adding rosemary, adding citrus, adding ginger root, those types of things are really going to kind of elevate your batch cocktail and make it feel just a little bit more special.

No, Melissa is the queen of make ahead.

Anytime we're in a pitch meeting, it's like make ahead Christmas.

I think that's a fantastic idea.

You know, when you were saying that the wheels got turning and I'm like, what if you did that kind of turned it into like a Guinness pie of sorts, like a British, like, you know, add some short crust pastry, pie dough, puff pastry on top and then bake it.

You can do individual servings.

You could do it as a large format thing.

And that kind of makes it feel a little bit more festive, too.

I know, yeah.

My answer for that was going to be pork tenderloin, but then that is also easy to overcook.

That is really fun.

That is a great idea.
