Holiday Sparkler
New York food and beverage expert Nick Mautone turned us on to this cocktail, a blend of sparkling wine with brandy, warm spices, and a touch of brown sugar. It’s the perfect opening to a memorable Thanksgiving, a sophisticated and seasonally-driven cocktail for a Christmas get-together, and an ideal prelude to the cork-popping moment when the New Year rings in at midnight.

Directions
5 min.
1. Step
Pour the brown sugar onto a small plate. Rub the lemon wedge along the rim of each champagne glass (but not inside the rim). Holding each glass at an angle, roll the outer edge of the rim in the sugar until it’s fully coated.
2. Step
Mix together the cinnamon, cloves, allspice, and ginger, then divide the mixture evenly among 5 champagne glasses.
3. Step
Add 1 sugar cube and 1 ounce of the brandy to each glass. Stir until the spices are well blended.
4. Step
Divide the sparkling wine evenly among the glasses. (Be careful, the sparkling wine will fizz vigorously!) Serve immediately.

The Meatball Shop's Devil’s Juice Sangría
This Devil’s Juice Sangría from New York City’s The Meatball Shop is the perfect drink to make in large batches. The flavor gets better over time, and it’s fun to serve in a big punch bowl for a group. You’ll have more Ginger Syrup than you’ll probably need, but any leftovers will keep in the fridge up to 2 weeks.

Guinness Cream Soda
The classic, nonalcoholic version of a cream soda contains club soda, cream, and usually vanilla syrup. Our boozy version uses vanilla and ginger liqueurs instead of syrup and the creamy froth of Guinness stout instead of cream to take this drink from soda fountain to bar top. What to buy: Domaine de Canton is a ginger-flavored liqueur that can be found at specialty liquor stores. Navan vanilla liqueur is a vanilla-infused Cognac made by Grand Marnier.

Mai Tai
The Mai Tai is a sweet-and-sour cocktail with fruit flavors balancing aged rum. All agree that “Trader Vic” Bergeron mixed the first Mai Tai in 1944 at his bar in Emeryville, California, just outside of San Francisco. Naysayers need only heed the words of Trader Vic’s bartenders’ guide of 1947: “Anybody who says I didn’t create this drink is a dirty stinker.” Trader Vic had visited the South Seas, returning with all of the venerable accouterments now standard in a tiki lounge.

The Dirty Flower
Pegu Club bartender Kenta Goto’s lovely cocktail La Fleur de Paradis spends its evenings perched atop a weathered zinc bar, sipped by the beautiful people of New York. Our rendition of it using wheat beer instead of champagne is more at home in a plastic cup, enjoyed by folks sporting cut-off shorts and soaking in the sun on a picnic blanket or the open gate of a pickup truck.
