  • December 28, 2020
  • Ritik Chopra

The holiday season comes with its fair share of ups and downs. On one hand, it’s a time for celebration and festivities – a time to welcome the New Year. On the other, the wintry weather compels you to stay in, stay warm, and reflect on the year you’ve lived – some much need retrospection after 2020. 

For both these moods, The Cocktail Story presents 5 Winter Cocktails; some made for boozy, celebratory nights with loved ones, others made for snug nights of movies and blankets.
