A Guide to Holiday Drink Pairings

Share

Let’s admit it…the holidays can be are stressful. Yes, we look forward to the time spent with family and friends, but this also means get togethers galore! And no matter how much fun they are, parties require a little extra work. That’s why we’re highlighting our easiest recipes (that still feel uniquely special) and a perfectly paired cocktail to bring out the flavor in each. Because let’s face it, most nights a simple salad will do, but it’s the holidays, so it’s time to show off your culinary genius.
