Our Christmas Cocktail Roundup

A menu of seasonal favourites.
by Erin Henderson
We have long championed mastering a cocktail or two to keep in your repetoire for parties.
You don't have to be an award-winning bartender, you don't have to grow a beard or get sleeve tattoos, but you should know how to mix a quality drink for your guests.
In a perfect world you would have at least one drink you can make each season, but let's not get ahead of ourselves. Below we've listed some quality cocktails to serve at your holiday party. Pick your favourite and build from there.
