Getting in a festive mood might take some ingenuity and creativity this year. You might be pinching your pennies and may not be able to make your fancy cocktails with 12+ ingredients and a candy cane. Don’t fret! Any drink can be a holiday drink if you set your mind to it. From your morning cup of coffee to your nightcap, I have some tips on how to get you in the holiday mood!
Actually, I only have one tip.
This is my tip, get ready.
Are you ready?
Just add alcohol. That is literally it. Any kind of alcohol. Get some of your favorite cheap liquor, swirl some whipped cream on top, and if you’re feeling really risky and frisky, add cinnamon! Now, don’t let anyone tell you that the beverage in your hand is not festive. You don’t need that kind of negative energy in your life. Not today, Satan!
Add some bourbon in your morning Joe and drown a gingerbread man in it for sweetness. BOOM. Holiday drink!
A rum and coke at lunchtime, in your favorite dirty Santa mug, swirled together with a candy cane. Hallelujah!
Wine should be mulled with, you guessed it, cinnamon and poor decisions. Add an orange for some vitamin C to fight off colds! SWEET BABY JESUS.
Cozy up with a cup of warm whiskey! I mean cocoa. There can be some cocoa in your whiskey if you want, just don’t overdo it.
Cider can be mulled too. Hot tip! Gin does not really go with cider, but if this is later in the day you might not notice or care. A Christmas miracle!
Egg nog is nasty. That’s all I’m gonna say about that.
The possibilities are endless!
It’s time for joy and cheer, and to be grateful for all the blessings of this amazing year! I’m just kidding. Let’s make this year about normalizing day drinking, not putting on pants, ever, and eating Nutella out of the jar for dinner. Let’s skip all the joyful crap and make this holiday season a time for getting completely blitzed. I mean why not? Everything is awful and you’re still stuck in the house so… bottoms up! I’ve been drinking this entire time!
