This Holiday season was made super easy for me because I was lucky to have come across Drizly. This is a great service that lets you pick the drinks and ingredients you need for your bar or seasonal cocktail and have everything delivered to your door within 2 hours. The door-to-door delivery makes things super easy, especially with so many houseguests.
I was just sitting in the living room, organizing our bar cart and realized so many things we needed before my relatives arrived from across the country. Sure I could have driven to a local store, but I hadn’t finished wrapping my presents and still needed to finish a few projects for work. So I downloaded the app to my iPhone, went through the menu (especially the Holiday picks section! That was super useful) and added everything I needed to my cart. Within an hour, a nice gentleman rang my doorbell and viola I had 2 pretty, red bags filled with the things I needed to get the party started. I can’t stress how easy this all was.
Usually when I’m hosting a party, I make sure the bar cart has a specialty cocktail or as I call it “the cocktail of the night”. However, I also like to provide a diversity of choices to cover the taste buds of all my guests. So having a vast variety to chose from makes my life simple.
One of my favorite to-go recipes is the “Rusty Nail”, which dates back to the 1930s. It’s a simple old-school cocktail that includes 1 oz scotch (had to made sure I had my favorite Glenlivet) and 1 oz Drambuie Scotch Liqueur. So just pour both things into a glass with a large ice cube, stir, add a twist of lemon (I actually use oranges instead because I love the crispness and zest of oranges, but lemons work well too) and enjoy.
Some other holiday picks were red win from campo Viejo, Mumm Napa Brut and Chivas Regal scotch because my friends and family love a variety, but we have a massive bias towards scotch.
In case you’re stuck and need some quick recipes or innovative ideas, Drizly has so many categories of recipes. See the link here: https://drizly.com/recipes#all-recipes
I can’t stress enough how easy this whole process was, it saved me so much time and it literally took a few minutes to go through the menu and add all the things I needed into the cart.
