Look, the holidays are stressful enough. You have to buy 20 gifts with the $1.50 you have in your account currently, the sales are overwhelming, you're baking for people who probably throw away half of it, everyone around you is stressed, and you just want to enjoy the holidays. Well, here's where I step in with the help of a little buddy called alcohol. What's a holiday without a little buzz? Tune out Aunt Karen at dinner and actually enjoy yourself with these eas, realistic, fun, Instagram-worthy cocktails.
