RA Sushi has introduced three winter cocktails, the Peartini, Spiced Apple Blossom, and Black Cherry Collins. They all look and sound amazing, and if you can't make it to the restaurant, you can whip one up at home. I'm partial to the Peartini myself.
Also, if you're looking for a gift for someone who already has everything, RA Sushi has gift cards available. And when you purchase a $50 gift card, you get a $10 one for yourself in return! This offer is available through Dec 31st, 2017, while supplies last.
