Merry Drinking!

The holidays are officially here and you know what that means: bad presents, loud relatives, and skinny jean-busting meals. The season may not always be filled with greetings, but who says you need to be a Scrooge reminiscing over Christmas past, especially when festive cocktails are involved? It’s time to host cozy get-togethers and winter bashes before New Year’s Eve rolls around the corner, which is why we’re revealing the top holiday drinks for 2010. Thirsty for a Hot Apple Toddy or St. Nick’s Naughty or Nice Punch? We have the yummy recipes right here. Consider them as gifts from us to you!

Splash of Ginger ale
2-3 Lime wedges
1 Lime
Preparation
In a rocks glass, muddle two lime wedges. Add ice, melon liqueur, and absinthe. Shake vigorously and return to rocks glass. Add ginger ale and garnish with a lime spiral.
