Christmas means many things to many people. Sometimes, it’s about the glitz and glamour of a fancy holiday party, but sometimes, you want to remember when Christmas meant something different. When a holiday celebration meant gathering around a roaring fire in a hearth, telling stories of your year with friends and family you so often missed. Your tree wasn’t purchased from a seller in a parking lot, no, you’d chopped it down yourself on the backwoods of your property. The tree was strung with popcorn garland, and someone was roasting chestnuts.
When you’re nostalgic for what Christmas was before cell phones and surround sound, a Country Christmas cocktail, served in a mason jar, can help to set the mood. Queue up one of the many fireplace videos out there—the acting really crackles—and snuggle in with someone special to enjoy the most important part of Christmas: the memories of Christmases to come.
- 1 oz Stoli Razberri Vodka
- 2 oz Cranberry Juice
