Holiday cocktails can be delicious but drinking too many of them may lead to needing a DUI defense attorney. Here are some favorites.
When it comes to holiday cocktails,
moderation is the key unless a partier wants to place a call to a DUI defense attorney. 'Tis the season to be jolly, but this can quickly turn into a very bad chapter of life if drinking and driving are paired up. It's fine to sip some delicious drinks and eat some festive fare as long as one remembers to strap on one's brain and common sense ahead of time. A designated driver is the best gift you can give yourself or anyone you love. Even one or two drinks can be too much, especially if a person has a low tolerance or has not eaten much beforehand. Here are some delicious beverages to sample as long as you do not get behind the wheel:
Eggnog and rum
Eggnog rarely appears on the shelf for the first ten months of every calendar year. But come November, those cartons of rich memories will be waiting on the dairy shelves enticing you to buy and drink. Mix this creamy liquid with a shot of rum, dust the glass with nutmeg, and you are in business.
Cranberry cocktail
Vodka even comes in cranberry flavor - imagine that! Mixing a shot with cranberry juice, lemon juice and cinnamon will create a tasty concoction. Heating it up can warm the body and the soul.
Irish coffee
Irish coffees don't just contain caffeine. There's also a jigger of Irish whiskey and a dollop of whipped cream on top. Yum! Move over, energy drinks combined with alcohol, and make room for a classic.
Hot buttered rum
Another beverage that contains rum, this warm drink tastes buttery and contains brown sugar, vanilla, nutmeg, and cinnamon along with the alcoholic component. Ever noticed that rum rhymes with yum?
Hot toddy
There are many variations of the hot toddy. The idea is to be a soothing winter beverage. Some recipes call for tea while others use apple cider. Whiskey is the typical spirit of choice but brandy is a popular option. A bit of honey or lemon can be added to taste. Toddies are designed for celebrations as well as for soothing colds and sore throats.
Seasonal beers
There are some major brands of brews that put out some holiday flavors.
Green or red
Anything can be turned into a holiday drink with a few drops of food coloring. White wine, vodka martinis, gin and soda can all turn into winter wonderland beverages with green, red or blue food coloring drops. Adding a real or plastic swizzler of a candy cane can add to the visual appeal, too.
A DUI defense attorney special—Mocktails
Daiquiris, margaritas and any other traditional drinks can be made without the alcohol in order to create a mocktail.
During the holidays, there are plenty of delicious beverages and foods to consume. In order to stay safe and not need a DUI defense attorney, it's crucial to drink in moderation, enlist a designated driver and serve plenty of mocktails.
