Seasonal Cocktails
Some liquors seem especially suited for
the season of cold: Think aged spirits
like bourbon and Scotch, brandy and
dark rum. However, even liquors that
play leading roles in summer, like light
rum, gin and tequila, can provide plenty
of winter enjoyment. Add the Top 10
seasonal liquors to the mix for cocktail
possibilities as endless as a long winter's
night.
Standard Cocktails with
a Holiday Flair
Seasonal flavors transform favorite yearround
cocktails into seasonal delights.
If you're not the one hosting the
seasonal festivities, you'll want to
tote along a gift to thank the host and
hostess.
Gift sets offer an easy way to show
your appreciation with a package
picked by the experts-like spirits
packaged with branded items such
as glasses and shakers, with mixers
and with multiple bottles. Buy early,
because once they're gone, they're
gone.

(47% ABV) with Walnut Old Fashioned
Syrup and Jigger. The expertise of
Elijah Craig bourbons carries into this
bonus cocktail syrup, for a chance to
make a delightfully distinctive Old
Fashioned at home. The syrup offers
the right touch of sweetness from cane
sugar and spice from aromatic bitters.
It was created to complement the
warm spice and sweet, toasty finish of
Elijah Craig Small Batch Bourbon. The
bonus jigger simplifies your at-home
bartending.
2. Casamigos Reposado Tequila

weber agaves used to make Casamigos

and fermented for 80 hours, creating
the unique Casamigos flavor. The
Reposado, aged for seven months, is
soft and slightly oaky, with hints of
caramel and cocoa. Use the bonus
Casamigos coasters to protect your
furniture from the sweaty chilled
cocktail glass and to remind you to get
more Casamigos Tequila!
