17 Festive Cocktails to Help You Kick Off the Holiday Season
Tis the season to be jolly, after all.
What’s the best way to spread Christmas cheer? Singing loud for all to hear... and clinking glasses with whomever’s near. (Credits to Buddy the Elf for the first part, we added the boozy bit ourselves.) We’re not saying you have to drink up for the holidays, but cocktails sure are a great way to spread joy with friends and family over the holiday season. From a cinnamon stick in a warm mug of hot chocolate and Bailey’s to a Indian-inspired cold weather caesar, these five cocktails are sure to keep you toasty and warm, merry and bright. So toss on a sparkly dress, dust off your Michael Bublé Christmas album, and start sipping.
