Oaxaca Cocoa at Pearls Rooftop on Sunset
For some, getting through the holidays and having a drink go hand in hand, same could be said for coffee. The Oaxaca Cocoa, available at LA hotspot Pearl’s Rooftop on Sunset, kills two turtle doves with one stone since it’s made with a cream and cold brew mixture, Viva XXXII tequila, as well as Ancho Reyes Chile Liqueur, Creme de Cacao, coconut palm syrup and a dash of chocolate bitters. That’s our kind of buzz.

Fuller, Go Easy on The Margaritas at Fedora, NYC
If you don’t think of the Margarita as a holiday cocktail, this version at NYC’s Fedora will make you think again. The traditional Margarita gets a boost thanks to some Cherry Heering, cranberry juice and cranberry garnish, and the Fuller, Go Easy on the Margaritas (get the Home Alone reference?) is the perfect balance of sweet and sour. Order it large format-style for some extra fun with friends.
