Quick Drinks for Holiday Crowds

Nov. 5, 2014

Holiday cheer is in the air. Business is picking up, customers are kicking back and stocking up on more than just gifts.

Treat your customers this season with cocktails that enhance your menu. Wirtz Beverage Wisconsin Beverage Development Specialist Brian Roman suggests three spirits and a craft beer to keep the winter warm and holidays sweet.

Try the Energy Extraction and Cheeky Monkey to bring hints of spice and smooth flavors to the table, and Deschutes Brewery’s Obsidian Stout for a little warmth. These beverages will invite your customers back as they continue to unwrap the season!
