'Tis the Season!
The wintry holiday season is here and what better way to get in the spirit of things than with one of these tasty and festive cocktails you can mix up at home!

Candy Cane Martini: The ultimate in holiday fun! This sugary sweet cocktail features 3 oz of rum, 2 oz of peppermint schnapps, a 1/2 oz of grenadine and a candy cane for garnish. It's so yummy you'll think Santa created it just for you!

Poinsettia: A colorful twist to the mimosa, this lovely libation is simply champagne and cranberry juice. Add a couple real cranberries to the bottom of the glass for an added touch. This is an easy and elegant cocktail perfect for any party from brunch to late night fun.

Spiked Hot Chocolate: Ready to cuddle up by the roaring fire? Why not do it with some spiked hot chocolate courtesy of Bailey's Irish Cream. The rich, creamy flavor will be a fast favorite. Just mix up your favorite hot cocoa and add your favorite Bailey's flavor.

Apple Cinnamon Toast: This sparkly concoction takes 1 1/4 oz apple flavored vodka, 1/2 oz of Goldschlagger, a dash of green apple Jell-O, cinnamon and a cinnamon stick and apple slice garnish. It's a unique twist on the martini that's sure to have your guests returning to the shaker all night long.

Wonderland Cocktail: This festive drink served up in a highball is perfect for those attendees who don't want to look 'girly' drinking holiday drinks. Mix up 2 oz of vodka, 1/4 oz of lime juice, 1/4 oz of lemon juice, a splash of Grenadine and soda.

Whatever your drink of choice is this season have a safe and happy one!
