Holiday Wine Cocktails

Holiday Wine Cocktails

 Holidays are a time for celebrations and entertaining.  Entertaining is always so much easier when you can prep in advance and stay out of the kitchen.  Having cocktails prepped limits your need to bartender.  Here are two cocktail recipes you can make prior to your guests’ arrival.  The best thing about these recipes is that wine has been substituted for spirits. Using wine instead of spirits lowers your entertainment cost. Wine cocktails recipes are easy, and inexpensive.  Sip, enjoy and repeat. Happy Holidays!
