Well, it’s been a busy few months and I fell off the wagon with regard to documenting our cocktails for Boozy Book Club. Here are the highlights for December:

Book Club Book: we chose Christmas on Ice by David Sedaris; in December, we aim for something short & sweet, ideally holiday-themed. This one was spot on.

Book Club Drinks:

There aren’t really any cocktails mentioned in the essays in this book. There are some very funny moments, a few offensive/racist remarks, and definitely some memorable characters (Mrs. Dunbar, Dinah the Christmas Whore, The Cow (and the Turkey)… I could go on). It was a delightful change of pace, and a fun book to listen to – the author read it himself, which was wonderful.

So…. I’ve chosen a few fun holiday drinks, all of which I could claim are tied to the litany of drinks offered in the story about Dinah the Christmas Whore:

• Cranberry Ginger Gimlet – North Shore Gin No. 6, fresh lime, cranberry-ginger simple
• Holiday Old Fashioned – NS American Whiskey, orange, baking spices, bitters
• Holiday Coquito – NS Third Coast Rum, coconut, condensed milk, baking spices

Happy Holidays and happy reading!
