“Oh the weather outside is frightful, and the cocktails are so delightful…”

New England’s cold and snowy winters always arrive before we know it. The days become shorter, the wind feels colder and the snow and sub-freezing weather is almost always a certainty.  It also means it is that time of year again- the festive holiday season- and, before we realize it, this joyful season will be in full swing. This, to many, means spending more time with family and friends, baking holiday treats, relaxing, and having fun whether it is outside building a snowman on a crisp sunny day or inside curled up by the fireplace. No matter how you decide to spend your winter day, a winter cocktail will keep you feeling festive.
