THE SNOWBALL

Advocaat, a Dutch egg liqueur, is the foundation of this British holiday classic; go figure. For the best Snowball, British-style "lemonade" is worth seeking out.

Steps:

  • Fill a Collins glass with ice.
  • Add advocaat, then top up with the lemonade or lemon-lime soda.
  • Stir gently.
  • Squeeze in a little more lime juice, if you like.

1 part advocaat
3 to 4 parts U.K.-style lemonade
7-Up or other lemon-lime soda

HOT TODDY

Whether you're sick in bed or fresh off the slopes, a hot toddy warms everything up. The classic formula of whiskey, sugar and hot water is like the steamy cousin of an old-fashioned, but these days, a lot of other ingredients (citrus juice, apple cider, various spices) get added in the name of innovation, with mixed results. This version cozies up to the original, with a few optional additions based on preference. First, warm the mug with hot water, which primes the vessel to hold heat longer, yielding a truly hot toddy to the last sip. Then add scotch or bourbon, or for a modern twist, rum, cognac or amaro. Stir in a little honey, maple syrup or Demerara sugar, add hot water and stir to dissolve. Garnish with lemon peel and spices, if you like.

Steps:

  • Fill a 6-ounce heatproof mug or glass with boiling water and set aside, 1 minute. Pour out the water then add the spirit and honey to the warmed glass. Top with boiling water and stir until the honey is dissolved. Garnish with the lemon peel and cinnamon stick or star anise, if desired. Let cool slightly before enjoying.

Boiling water, as needed
2 ounces scotch, bourbon, rye, Irish whiskey, dark rum, cognac or amaro
3/4 ounce light honey, such as acacia, or maple syrup (or 1 teaspoon Demerara sugar)
1 (3-inch) lemon peel
Cinnamon stick and whole star anise, to garnish (optional)

CHRISTMAS DAY CLEMENTINE SOUR

Here's a cocktail that's both a tribute to my mother (who loved whiskey sours laced with amaretto) and to my favorite flavors of the Christmas season: clementines, cinnamon and cloves. Juice the clementines a day in advance to save yourself some trouble on the holiday.

Christmas Day Clementine Sour image

Steps:

  • In a shaker filled with ice, combine the bourbon, curaçao, brown sugar syrup and clementine juice (and egg white, if using). Shake vigorously for 30 seconds.
  • In a chilled coupe glass, swirl enough amaretto to coat the inside. Strain shaken drink into coupe. Top with the bitters. Garnish with the ribbon of clementine peel.

1 1/2 ounces bourbon, preferably Elijah Craig 12-year-old
1/2 ounce Pierre Ferrand Dry Curaçao
1/4 ounce spiced brown sugar syrup (see recipe)
Juice of 1 clementine (about 1 ounce), plus ribbon of peel for garnish
1 egg white (optional)
1/2 teaspoon Luxardo Amaretto (enough to rinse inside of coupe glass)
2 dashes Angostura bitters

LAMBRUSCO SPRITZ

Think of this as a grown-up, but not too grown-up, spritz. Here, grapefruit brightens and plays up the wine's light bitterness, while buttery green olives add a touch of earthy brine and serve as a welcome snack. Reach for a lighter, sweeter, more citrus-leaning amaro, to avoid masking the bubble's nuance. For Lambrusco, seek dry or off-dry bottles, and commit to tasting a few until you find what you like. Two to start with: Lambrusco di Sorbara, which is the lightest in color and flavor, with high acidity and plenty of aromatics, and Lambrusco Grasparossa, which is dark in color and bold in flavor with dry tannins and rich berry notes.
