Christmas time, mistletoe and cocktails…
We all know that Christmas is going to look a whole lot different this year. But one benefit to that is that we have more time at home to relax, rather than rushing from one place to another (although, maybe we’d enjoy rushing from shopping to the local right about now). Although, now that we have more time, we have more time to practice making delish cocktails of our own.
So, ready to perfect your skills? Here are ten cocktail recipes that definitely deserve a spot on the must-try list this year. Plus, if you fancy a cocktail instead, don’t forget you can revamp the recipes a little to do exactly that.
