Looking at getting in one last round of partying before you go dashing through the snow back to your folks' place? Or maybe something to take the edge off when you get there? In either case, here's a handy-dandy list of holiday cocktail recipes, as well as a few nice places around town serving up this holiday cheer. Looks like someone intercepted our letter to Santa!

FROSTINI  Hey, that's not the name of the "bottle hostess" at Tenjune...instead it's their wintry mix of Kahlua and peppermint, and it's like a sweet snowball for your mouth! 1 part Kahlua 1 part Kahlua Cream Liqueur ¼ part peppermint schnapps Garnish with a mint spring or peppermint stick.

SANTA’S HELPER The sexy elves at 1Oak know just how to make your Swiss Miss a can't-miss, with this amped up cocoa creation. Hopefully, they have those weird crunchy marshmallows at the bar. 1.5 oz vanilla vodka 1 package hot cocoa Dash of white Creme de Cacao Garnish with cinnamon stick. Serve warm in a glass mug.

The WHITE CHRISTMAS Straight from the Crosby-worthy confines of Abe & Arthur’s comes a drink you'll be dreaming of...let this festive fruity number get your treetop glistening. 3 parts citrus vodka 1 part triple sec 2 parts white cranberry juice Garnish with 3 whole cranberries.
