Everything tastes better when it's homemade, especially around the holidays. Last week, mixologist Niles Peacock showed the Weekly how he makes his famous Madagascar Vanilla Bean Cello (like Limoncello only vanilla!) in his home kitchen. Cello takes only minutes to prepare and once it's rested for 72 hours up to one month, it's ready to be divvied up into tiny bottles as gifts, to greet your holiday guests with, or to incorporate into a frosty holiday cup like the Snow Day. Hint: be kind to your waistline by substituting 3 oz. of unsweetened organic vanilla soymilk for the cream.
