We are so excited to get the holidays underway, and we wanted to bring you three of our very favorite recipes to make your holiday events extra special. There are a few for adults and one for kids as well, and we also have the perfect glassware to show off your mixing talents!
Rudolph’s Red Nose

Mini candy canes for rims and garnish
Mix all ingredients in a cocktail shaker filled with ice, shaking vigorously. Crush one candy cane and set on a small plate. Touch the glass rims onto a separate plate of water, then dip the damp rims into the crushed candy cane. Strain the cocktail shaker into chilled martini glasses. Garnish with mini candy cane on the side.
