I do most of my cocktail inventing around the holidays. The reason for this is twofold. One, I always visit my parents and they possess a liquor cabinet that shames some bars, not only in actual number of bottles, but also in the array of top-shelf and/or rare liquors. Two, when does one find oneself in need of a drink more than the holidays?

Whether it's the merriment of celebration, the release of stress, or simply the desire to take a breather from all the socializing by indulging in a brief respite behind the bar, December is the time for mixing. And also for giving, so allow me to give you my two newly-invented cocktails for 2008: the Ginger-Pear Cocktail and the Nihilist.

Thursday Happy Hour: The Lemon Float

It's not quite the weekend, but that has never stopped us from having happy hour before, has it? I came across this recipe for a Lemon Float at Vodkapundit's website, and it inspired me enough to whip out the cocktail shaker a day early. He combines premium citron vodka, Cointreau, simple syrup, juice of a lemon, and a drop of vanilla extract in a shaker over ice. The chilled mixture is then poured very slowly into a sugar-rimmed glass over a 1/2 oz of Chambord, so it floats on top.

Steve's words of advice when serving this cocktail? Drink quickly. Repeat until naked.

(Thanks, Steve!)

Tip of the Day

The turkey turned out perfectly, but the gravy's a different story. Avoid botching the one recipe that guests pour over their entire Thanksgiving plates with these quick fixes.
