12 Drinks of Christmas, Day 11! Soltado Serrano & Cinnamon Tequila Sparks New Years Eve!

Posted By Stevie Wilson on Dec 31, 2015 | 2 comments

As we are starting to roll down that slippery slope into January 2016, it’s time to be looking at and getting ready to mix up a new batch of cocktails. Here’s some interesting ones for New Year’s Eve.
N.B. If you realized that New Years Day is on a Friday, then you are in for a treat. If you follow me occasionally or know me just a bit when it comes to cocktails, any holiday that lands on a Friday, always encourages me to include MORE cocktails over the weekend. So this series won’t be over until at least Saturday 1/2 or maybe Sunday 1/3. So enjoy the recipes, it’s not over til I say it’s over!
