December 20, 2022by Becky Sowemimo

‘Tis the season for nonstop holiday parties and festivities, so we put together a couple of our favorite easy-to-make cocktails and mocktails for revelers to serve up a glass of holiday cheer at home. Recently featured on FOX 5 ”Good Day Atlanta” The Scarf Season is perfect for kids and non-drinkers who are looking for a tasty and refreshing combination of sweetness and tang. Our Spiced Apple Cider is a twist on a classic and can be made in a batch ahead time, providing a stress-free zero proof option. For guests looking for an extra kick, simply add whiskey for a spicier and warmer taste. Detailed recipes and instructions for both beverages are below.

And, if you’re in need of a last-minute gift for the holiday host or cocktail lover in your life, stop by and pick up a bottle of one of in-house distilled spirits, including our most recent release – Amaro Peach, glass sets, cocktail shakers, and more.
