‘Tis the season for drinking booze at breakfast

Ordinarily I feel a little too lushy if I sip anything other than the occasional mimosa before 9 am. But something about the holiday season — probably the need to create a momentary escape from the non-stop hustle-and-bustle — makes an early-morning nip feel completely justified.

Don’t believe me? Try it. This Coffee Nudge at the Swinging Doors might be just what you’re after. (Doesn’t that melting whipped cream kind of remind you of Santa’s beard? Me too! Soooo festive.) Also, the Candy Cane at the Davenport’s Safari Room makes for a lovely meal replacement drink. And just like that you’re right back in the holiday spirit!
