Plus Up Your Holiday Cheer With These Festive Cocktail Recipes
There are two types of people: the ones who are immediately filled with nostalgic excitement as soon as the holidays roll around, and the ones who find the pomp and circumstance, well, a little exhausting.

And you don’t need a personal mixologist to do it.

So whether you’re mixing up an apple-spiced spritz for your fam or a bubbly blackberry concoction for your holiday party pod, your beverage will be something worth savoring—just like the people around you.
