This turned out to be fun.

I scratched the pumpkin martinis, and made coquito (Puerto Rican coconut eggnog). Plus added a small pot of mulled wine for after dinner. We are having games and dessert, so some guests are only coming for that part after finishing dinner at in-laws homes.

You’re right. They won’t learn anything unless they do the mixing themselves, Montessori style.

Ha!!!!

We will have champagne with splash of cramberry juice. Red wine and beer. My 5yo takes pride in retrieving beers from basement fridge for guests.

Proper pairings, obviously.

LOL that adults can drink responsibly? I was waiting for all the "everyone on DCUM is an alcoholic" post!
