ROCKIN’ AROUND THE BOOZY TREE

BY JULIA DI MARCELLO


We’re rockin’ around the boozy tree with the Christmas party bops. Bottles of liquor are stored high where you can see, while every couple tries to pour. Later we’ll have some cocktails and we’ll do some caroling. You will get a sentimental feeling when you hear Tony share some boozy recipes for you and your friends and family. Voices will be singing loudly. All will be jolly as we celebrate this holiday season. Let’s start sipping. 


Below are Tony’s highly recommended cocktails for you to make at home.
