It’s getting cold outside, and what better way to warm yourself on a chilly winter night than a seasonal cocktail. We’ve all had a holiday-themed mixed drink at some point or another, maybe at a party or a communal dinner, but there are some local bars that are also getting into the spirit.
If you like smoky, rich flavors and creamy textures, check out these drinks that range from traditional to modern. As we gather together for the holidays, take your friends and family out for one of these festive drinks.
