"Around Concord", Christmas Farm Inn

“The Christmas Farm Inn & Spa dates back to 1778 when it was a true farmhouse. Its name was bestowed shortly after the Great Depression when a Philadelphian gave the property to his daughter as a Christmas present. Though it was a working farm and a jail at various times during its long history, this historic inn now mixes traditional New England charm with a classy spa, exceptional restaurant, and luxurious rooms. While relaxing in the living room of the main house, I could easily imagine local business owners and skiers gathered there to plan the touring center as a way to support the local economy.”

“The seasonal cocktail menu at the Christmas Farm Inn has plenty of charmingly named creations, some of which ended in the letters, “tini,” as well as good assortment of single malt Scotches, but I was after the classic.

My companion tested an equally classic martini-derivation: vodka, dirty (includes a bit of briny olive juice), garnished with olives.”
