SoDel Concepts crafts holiday cookies and cocktails

SoDel Concepts' pastry team has baked specialty treats that guests can order in the restaurant or to go. Each restaurant is also featuring specialty cocktails.

To celebrate the holidays, SoDel Concepts is now selling boxes of treats and festive cocktails.

Guests can easily add these specialty items to a lunch or dinner order.

“We want everyone to enjoy the holidays, although things are different this year,” said Scott Kammerer, president of SoDel Concepts, which owns 12 restaurants in coastal Delaware.

“Our guests can enjoy the cookies and cocktails in our dining rooms or their homes. Or they can give them to friends,” he said. “People should be extra kind to others and themselves this holiday season.”

Doug Ruley, vice president of culinary operations, said the promotion highlights SoDel Concepts’ pastry team, led by Dru Tevis. “Dru has put our restaurants on the map of sweet tooths throughout Delaware,” he said.

Priced at $15, each box contains 12 to 14 treats, including cookies, nut and fruit bars, brownies and blondies. Cookie boxes can be purchased in the restaurant or added to a curbside carryout order along with a specialty cocktail to enjoy at home. Large boxes and platters are also available.

As for the cocktails, each of the 12 restaurants will feature a creative concoction each week in December.
