A Hill Worth Climbing! The Juniper Hill, CRUSADE Cocktail of The Week

Juniper Hill, NJ – CRUSADER member and FOKD (friend O’ the KingDude) Dan and Deb Mundy of New Jersey are this week’s CRUSADER Cocktail contest winners with Deb’s favorite libation and Thursday night regular The Juniper Hill! Here’s some history on the restaurant that created this jewel and the recipe to make it.

Named after its surroundings and nestled in the village of Annandale in Hunterdon County, New Jersey – Juniper Hill is a family-friendly restaurant and bar serving simple and seasonal food prepared by Chef/Owner Josh DeChellis.

Our frequently-changing menu is designed to show off great, fresh ingredients. We have daily deliveries from local bakers and farmers, shop at our local farms and frequently take in the day’s catch, fresh from the East coast. Our menu blends ingredients from around the world to deliver food you can feel good about eating, prepared with the best offerings from nearby farms and carefully chosen purveyors.
