It's holiday cocktail party season, but eggnog shouldn't be the only drink people sip around the fire. Author and entertaining expert Mark Addison stops by with some new takes on classic holiday cocktails. The author of "Cocktail Chameleon" comes stocked with plenty of drinks and garnishes, sure to spice up any holiday party.
He starts things off with a winter rosé sangria. The mulled wine cocktail lets people take their favorite summer drink and update it for the season. Along the way, Addison reveals his cocktail-making musts; from choosing the proper glassware to giving your drink a memorable name.
Then, we turn our attention to a spin on a hot toddy that Mark calls an "Old Pal." He gives a demo on what goes into making this drink that relies heavily on ginger flavors. He also tells viewers where they can get an autographed copy of his book that includes even more creative cocktails.
