The Intoxicologist

The holiday spirit abounds from the time Thanksgiving weekend begins to the time New Year counts down.  Cocktail parties for the office, friends and neighbors provide occasions for gatherings with differing needs.  One might need punches and coffees for neighbors stopping in for a moment or two with greetings.   Family and friend type holiday parties require classic cocktails and specifically chosen martinis to suit particular palates since the gathering means hours of nibbling finger food and chatting over good times.  Office parties might suggest simpler martinis and cocktail recipes with fewer ingredients that still keep within the classic style yet appeal to a broader audience. 

 

The Holiday Cheer Martini & Cocktail Recipe Guide endeavors to provide a broad scope of mixed drink recipes during the holiday season for all your party planning needs through New Year’s Eve.  This cocktail listing will be updated frequently with classic style martinis and cocktails as well as the trendy and entertaining with the occasional shot recipe thrown in for good measure.  Don’t forget Holiday in a Glass the Thanksgiving cocktails guide with 250+ recipes, many of which are still ideal for the Christmas season.  Hot Brew contains hot coffee and espresso recipes to keep you warm through the winter months.  This guide will continue to be updated this winter.  Since holiday foods and entertaining begins to creep up on winter weight gain in a hurry, Living Grand & Teenie is the low calorie cocktail guide with many mixed drink recipes to help keep flavorful cocktails flowing in a tasteful low calorie way year round.  This guide is also updated frequently.
