This is Day 7 of the 12 Drinks of Christmas 2015 series of cocktails and sips. This is my annual ode to cocktails over the holidays! I am featuring 12 different days (or more) of cocktails that you can make up to your taste. There will be assorted brands and all kinds of interesting alcoholic beverages and maybe one to two days of non-alcoholic recipes for you to try. I have been writing the ” 12 Drinks of Christmas” feature since early 2000’s when I created it for Lucire.com. Now I feature it every year and I love including unusual recipes and interesting spirits! So enjoy the 12 or so days of spirit recipes or posts about interesting ways to celebrate Holidays 2015! It’s definitely not boring!

I love the look of that cocktail. But then, red wine and vodka – what’s not to love!
