Celebrate your favorite veteran with a memorial flag, medals and a sparkling cocktail.

Celebrate your favorite veteran always and forever. Inspired by my favorite US Navy sailor this sparkler of a drink contains a liqueur called Poire William. It is a pear flavored brandy that goes well with fresh ginger and some patriotic fruit colors. Top it off with some bubbly and just says "cheers".

Sweet William's Spirited Sparkler flute and his mission accomplished military medals.
