Making spirits bright: Holiday drink guide
It’s that time of year when you are most likely to be hosting a party with friends or family. Make that gathering a little more festive and special by extending the Holiday spirit to the drinks and refreshments you offer your guests.
Holiday themed drinks that range from classics like egg-nog to Christmas inspired martinis, to fun and tasty drinks like The Grinch or the Holly Berry.
The holiday season also offers inspiration for decorating glassware and using unique garnishes. Tiny candy canes can make a wonderful and colorful stir stick or garnish. Cranberries add a festive color and can decorate glassware or the drinks themselves. Crushed candy cane makes a unique and festive rimmer for any sweet martini.
