Holiday Cocktail Recipes

One of my favorite things to do during the holiday season is to have friends and family over for a dinner party. Don't get me wrong, the meal is very important, but a fun, and special touch that I like to include is a custom cocktail. I serve a different one every year and many of my guests look forward to getting a new drink recipe every time they come over! Here are a few of my favorites! Cheers!
