Yo,ho-ho-ho,and a bottle of rum!

These holiday-themed cocktails will give you some Xmas cheer. Pro tip: leave one of these with the cookies instead of milk and see what Santa leaves you!

Mix #110 Nutty Like a Fruitcake

1.5oz Demerara rum
1/2oz spiced rum
1oz orange juice
1/2oz lemon juice
3/4oz orgeat
1/2oz orange curacao
1/4oz allspice dram
1 dash Angostura bitters

Shake with ice and pour into Mai Tai glass.

This is a sweetish drink. You really taste the curacao and it has a spice finish. Very nice.

(update,just found out this was created by bartender Mindy Kucan)

Mix #111 Fall in Paradise

1.5oz Demerara rum
1.5oz apple cider
1.5oz pineapple juice
1/2oz lime juice
1.2oz allspice dram
5 dashes peach bitters*

Shake everything with ice and strain into glass.

*I didn’t have peach bitters,so I used Angostura and a dash of peach schnapps.

Another sweet drink with fruit and spice notes. Quite good.

Mix #112 Yule Tai’d

1oz aged light rum
1oz aged gold rum
1/2oz heavy bodied dark rum
1oz lime juice
1/2oz cinnamon syrup
1/2oz Grand Marnier
1/2oz orgeat
2 dashes allspice dram
ground nutmeg

Combine everything except dark rum and nutmeg into glass with ice and swizzle. Float dark rum and top with some nutmeg.

Created for a Tiki Tony drink card by Kerri Bacon and Chloe Drane,this is a holiday Mai Tai riff. Very cinnamon forward with a spice finish. I used Hamilton Navy Grog Blend for my float to give it a little more kick. I’ll be having one of these with my Xmas dinner.

Happy holidays folks! Oh look,Xmas Elvira gifs!
