BeverageUnderground's video: Christmas Drink Recipes 5 New Holiday Cocktail Recipes

Every year we look forward to creating new Christmas Cocktails and providing Holiday Party Ideas. This year http://BeverageUnderground.com has developed five fun, festive and easy holiday drink recipes that introduce some new liquors and liqueurs as well fresh ideas for both mixers and garnishes. New varieties of chocolate and vanilla vodkas, flavored moonshine, a ginger liqueur with a 100 year history and a rum cream liqueur all found their way to the series of cocktails designed by the 'Bar Mechanic', Larry 'Smokey' Genta. "Every year we discover new spirits at BeverageUnderground.com so I decided to introduce a few favorites and match them with some fresh ideas to enhance flavors and increase their mixability", said Genta who has designed cocktails for restaurants, bars and clubs for over 30 years. "I like to give them proprietary and memorable names that add curiosity for guests and at the same time turn bartenders on to quality products and mixers", added Genta.

Genta used a vintage champagne bowl for the Crantastic Holiday Cocktail and said, "The whole cranberry sauce works well in the shaker and much better than Cranberry Juice Cocktail, and the quality of the juices effects the overall taste and the quality of every drink". The other "Outrageous Cocktails" are named Purple Mountain Majesty, which uses Blueberry Moonshine as its base, the Vincent Van Grog which Genta describes as a 'Chocolate Martini meets a Starbucks Frappacino' and Ginger's Kooky Cocktail that introduces King's Ginger an unknown product that dates back to King Edward VIII and the early 1900's. The last of the five drink is a refreshing quencher that is a perfect party punch in a glass and aptly named for the holiday season. The Festivus is vodka based cocktail that balances the flavors of strawberry and citrus juices. The actual recipes and more information on the items used can be found at http://BeverageUnderground.com
