Take a moment to think about the flavors of the holidays. What comes to mind? Chocolate? Cinnamon? Peppermint? Cloves? Ginger? Espresso? Buttery shortbread? This is a season of sweet indulgences. Every bit of sugar and spice is as important to bedazzling your taste buds as tinsel, garland, ribbons and bows are for decking your halls and ornamenting your festivities. Be creative in your brewing and mixology.

Rocket launch your holiday with what is sure to be your new shake-it-up-santa-baby spicy cocktail surprise. You'll be playing reindeer games amid the frothy clouds of this festive, full-bodied favorite that blends the depth of espresso with a peppery chocolate nut hairpin turn made smooth by an apricot or honey landing.
