I know the 12 Drinks of Christmas should technically be over, I like to do a + 1 day because going back to work after a long weekend that includes a holiday seems to me to be the perfect reason for an interesting cocktail. Think of it as a “chill pill” or a way to unwind. It’s the perfect match with a take-out dinner or a food that is delivered to you and ready to eat.
Disclosure: I received bottles of two of the Van Gogh Vodkas along with the sample pack shown below. It makes it easier to talk about great cocktails when you know what the cocktail will taste like. It in no way impairs my ability to evaluate the cocktails or the brand.
From Van Gogh Vodka — one of my newest favorite spirits- are a collection of cocktails that are based around sweet influences. Skip the dessert while you sip these flavorful drinks revolving around Dutch Chocolate, Dutch Caramel, and Double Expresso! Van Gogh gave me a couple of sample bottles to try in the Dutch Chocolate and Expresso and I got the small sample pack that featured all three flavors PLUS a regular vodka from Van Gogh (see below for image!)
