The 106 Jefferson Hotel’s Twelve Days of Christmas cocktails
By Nancy West
“On the first day of Christmas my true love gave to me….” Are you a fan of the classic Christmas Carol “Twelve Day Days of Christmas”? As we get ready for the holidays, the 106 Jefferson Hotel is helping local Huntsville, Alabama residents get into the holiday spirit with special themed cocktails inspired by the popular Christmas carol.
The 106 Jefferson is a boutique hotel in downtown Huntsville. And in time for the holidays, they have created a specialty cocktail for each of the twelve days of Christmas that will be served at both The Revivalist restaurant and bar and their rooftop bar, Baker & Able. From December 9-24, visitors can enjoy any (or all!) of the festive holiday cocktails.
From the Pear Tree to Drummers Drumming, there are twelve unique cocktails to help you celebrate the holidays. For those of us who don’t live near Huntsville, Alabama we don’t have to miss out. The 106 Jefferson shared some of the recipes with us. And now I share them here with you!
