Christmas and cocktails. We all have something we associate with Christmas. For me, it’s the smell of Christmas dinner and cookies spreading from the kitchen throughout the house and it’s decorating the Christmas tree with handpicked ornaments.
It’s my favourite holiday of the year, where I get to enjoy great food and cocktails with my loved ones.
However, December can also be a very busy month, with all the Christmas shopping and gatherings. Taking a break to relax and enjoy the Christmas can be needed at times. For moments like these a few delicious Christmas cocktails can be just what´s needed.
