“When I think of the holidays, I think of candy and Rudolph. I wanted to pay a fun tribute to an old-fashioned Christmas with this cocktail, Guide My Sleigh Tonight, even down to the nose, which is represented with the cranberry and cherry ice orb,” said Bar Manager Paul Hassel. “My hope is that when a guest orders this cocktail or someone creates it at home, each sip fills them up with holiday spirit.”
