I just got word that the Holiday Peppermint Martini is Santa’s most favorite cocktail and that the Menorah Martini is a hit with Hanukkah Harry. If you leave these cocktails out with some homemade cookies, you are sure to get moved from the naughty list to the very nice! Don’t worry about Santa or Harry missing your house after one of these drinks because these guys always have a designated elf or maccabee to guide the reindeer or camels! So Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah to all and to all a goodnight! Cheers!
Cheers to the holidays!
