Fruitations Trio Giveaway // stirandstrain.comARGH! I’m not ready for Christmas guys. I put up a tree a week ago but haven’t gotten around to decorating it yet. Maybe I can have a New Year’s tree? I’d make it work.

Sometimes even I need a little help when it’s Holiday time. Maybe you do too. It’s ok; we’re in this mess together. Today I’ve also got something to help us all out when it comes to making cocktails: Fruitations. Awhile back I tried some of these all fruit mixers and decided that you all need to try them too, they’re right up there with freshly squeezed, except I don’t have to squeeze them and they’re ready pronto.Fruitations Trio Giveaway // stirandstrain.com

And not just for cocktails! You got kids running around at your holiday party? Maybe your best friend’s got a bun in the oven? Mix up a non-booze drink with these! Ok, but mostly we all know we’re going to use them for cocktails. Delicious cocktails.

Holiday Gift Guide: Stuff Your Stocking (with booze)

by Leave a Comment

Growing up, stockings were always an important part of the holiday tradition in my household. On Christmas morning they were the first things that my sister and I could touch. And what a bounty! Looking back, it was a lot of little crap, but my mom knew exactly the kind of crap we would go nuts over. Since I’ve been with my husband celebrating Christmas, I’ve reinstating stockings. From socks to swanky sunglasses, anything goes. However, if I was going to choose some items to put in there for all of you readers, here’s the loot you’d get!

Let’s light a champagne scented candle (when it’s done you get a new cup!) and juice a couple limes. Break open your copy of Home Bar Basics and contemplate how you’re going to personalize that barrel you’ll be aging a Negroni in later. It’s the holidays, so let’s mix up that all natural cranberry syrup with some gin. Shoot it back, or get out the coasters?
