If you have watched the Dutch national soccer team, you may have wondered why they are wearing orange when the flag is red, blue, and white. The answer is that orange is the color of the Dutch royal family. I am a big fan of Dutch soccer, so I decided to concoct a drink in their honor.

- 3 parts brandy (I used a wonderful XO brandy)
- 1 part sour mix
- 1 part lemon-lime soda
- ice

In New Hampshire, this past weekend was filled with lots of wintry weather. It started with a snowstorm that ran from mid-afternoon Friday to early Saturday morning. As we were digging out from that storm, there was a warning of another, bigger snowstorm all day Sunday.
