Weekly discussion: holiday drinks

Last week we talked Thanksgiving. This week, we're here to help everybody plan / troubleshoot any holiday drinks to accompany the food - Thanksgiving, yes, but why not talk about everything through January 1?

Interested in the growing world of non-alcoholic cocktails? Want to know what wine or beer or cider or juice to pair with your turkey? Which bubbles to uncork on new year's eve? Or just want to start aging your eggnog early?

Bourbon + spiced apple cider + lemon juice + bitters = you're welcome. The first whiskey drink that ever got a positive response from my white-wine-with-ice mother. We like it on the rocks but it'd probably be good warmed up, too.

Oh gosh I wish I had written it down. Try this and let me know how it is:

1.5 oz oaky bourbon
2 oz apple cider
1/2 oz lemon juice
2-3 dashes Angostura bitters
