On the First Day of Christmas, the Bartender Mixed for Me…

From December 13 through Christmas day, the modern American bistro and bar located at the Hotel Shattuck Plaza will be counting down the days with a new festive and artisan cocktail every night. Each one is inspired by the classic English Christmas carol, “The Twelve Days of Christmas.” So get creative this holiday season—there’s more out there than just the classic eggnog and mulled wine.
