The Snowbird Spritz

While most people simply sip Lambrusco “as is,” this Italian sparkler can add a festive fizzy note to your favorite cocktail. Perfect for the holidays or the New Year, this spritz is a crowd pleaser.

Holiday Hummer

While a hummer is typically a summer sipper thanks to a scoop of ice cream, this cozy take is perfect for Christmas.

Poppycocks’ Nordic Mule

We love the splash of color this vodka cocktail lends to the North’s great white winters. And the can-orange jam. (Yes, jam!)

Sage Bee’s Knees

Delightful on a sunny winter day, this cocktail features a sage-honey syrup that can be made in advance.
