It’s December, and ’tis the season to be jolly, right? Christmas and Hanukkah may still be a few weeks away, but that doesn’t mean you can’t start spreading the cheer early: we look forward to holiday cocktail parties all year long. So, this “Christmakkah,” we’re going to do things right, by inviting over a big group of friends to enjoy savory and sweet treats, and plenty of punch. The equation is quite simple: pair two easy cocktail bites with two tiny desserts. Serve a specialty drink, like our Jonestown Punch, in a big bowl, then let the good times roll. A few Santa hats, bowls full of gelt, and strategically placed mistletoe never hurt either.
