Winter Libations

Holiday parties are times for good friends, good food, and - yes - good drinks.  There’s a dizzying amount of options a host looking to provision the bar.  Do you play it safe with trusted beer and wine?  There’s always winter traditions: mulled wine, well-spiked eggnog, and - if you’re an old British Isle descendant - sherry.  This year, we broke out the cocktail shaker and tried our hand at some winterized renditions of classic cocktails.
