When imbibing with friends, family during the Holidays, I like to consider TWO categories of cocktails; so check out this simple party planning idea that is certain to help make this the best Holiday ever!

1) Clear & Bright – Something light, effervescent as the perfect aperitif before dinner; or that will be pretty, delicious to hold while mingling at a party

2) Warm & Cozy – Something hot, rich as a welcoming warm up as guests arrive; or that will be ideal for cuddling up with that special someone in front of a fire or to watch an old holiday favorite movie.
