I never been a big drinker, but lately I have started loving a well mixed cocktail. There is something really great going to a bar where they have hand crushed ice, real lemon juice and will make the cocktail in front of you. So today Im giving you two great cocktail recipes perfect for any holiday party. But remember, don't drink and shop..... it can turn out very expensive. Trust me, I have been there. Enjoy!
