The holidays are here and we’re ready to wrap up 2023 with our final adult beverages, cocktails, and related sips roundup. You’ll find the usual alphabetical Spirit.Ed format of cocktail recipes in the many offerings below.
Breaking the wall here a bit, I got this roundup later than I wanted because I’ve been battling an illness since last weekend and I’m not all the way better. That said, I have a duty to the people, and below, I’ve got some cocktails, mocktails, and more for the holidays, which includes Christmas and New Year’s Eve, as I’m shutting it down after this post.
Usually, I’d try to give you all some lovely descriptors and all of that, but it’s not happening, folks. I love you all, but your guy D.L. Chandler is running on fumes, so I’m doing what feels like the bare minimum, but I promise to get back on the strong path for next year.
Also, going into the next year, I’m trying to find ways to make these roundups shorter so I don’t lose people. Although I don’t mind scrolling, some do and I want to be accommodating.
I want to thank all of the wonderful brands and agencies that worked with me throughout 2023 to help bring their wares to our readers and the wider public. In 2024, stay tuned for some exciting developments that will be a great gain for all I’ve worked with in the past and beyond.
Happy Holidays and Happy New Year!
