12 Original Holiday Cocktail Recipes, 2017

Omni Originals: Surprise and Delight - 12 Drinks of Christmas

Festive Cocktails for the Holidays

From a partridge in a pear tree to 12 drummers drumming and five golden rings, our holiday cocktail menu took inspiration from the lyrics of the beloved holiday song “The Twelve Days of Christmas.” From November 17 through December 31, we offered guests the chance to indulge in the holiday season with 12 Drinks of Christmas featuring festive beverages that pay homage to the 12 gifts my true love gave to me.
