Sometimes Christmas spirit is served in a glass.
While waiting for sleigh bells to ring, get happy tonight with a few festive-themed cocktails like hot buttered rum or the classic rum eggnog. It’s a different kind of warm fuzzy feeling, but it may still bring good cheer.
Bocado: There are certain drinks that announce the holiday, and the classic rum eggnog is one of them. At Bocado, bartender David Durnell makes his version with aged rum and house-made eggnog, topped with a mint sprig and nutmeg.
Thirteen Pies: Baby, it's cold outside, so warm up with a glass of hot buttered rum, a holiday specialty crafted by bartender Liz Srederick. She mixes a house-made batter of butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, clove, nutmeg and vanilla then combines it with hot water, heavy cream and dark rum to give guests a warm, fuzzy feeling inside.

Serpas: Bartender Keyatta Mincey created the perfect holiday cocktail called autumn harvest, made with dashes of Angostura bitters, simple syrup, lemon, pear liqueur, Elizabeth allspice dram and Old Fourth vodka garnished with a flamed orange peel.
Peach & The Porkchop: Since snow is a rarity in metro Atlanta, bartender Alexa Robertson decided to give guests the winter wonderland feeling in glass. Throughout the holiday season, an icy cocktail called cinnamon snowflake made with rum and vodka infused with cinnamon, rice and vanilla is available.
