    3. Midori Peppermint Kiss: Another minty treat which comes in handy if you are near mistletoe.

  • 1 oz. Midori Melon Liqueur
  • 1 oz. SKYY Vodka
  • 3 oz. Pineapple juice
  • ¼ oz. fresh lemon juice
  • ¼ oz. Peppermint Schnapps
  • 6 Basil Leaves (gently torn in half to release oils)

    Directions: In a chilled shaker glass, add all the above ingredients. Add ice, shake for 15 seconds, and then strain into a Collins glass. Garnish with a basil leaf and one raspberry sitting in front of basil in glass.

    4. Glogg: Head to The Living Room (207 Main Street, East Hampton, 631-324-5006, www.careofhotels.com) during the holidays to try this festive traditional Swedish drink.

  • 1 bottle Red Wine
  • 1/2 cup Sugar
  • 18 Cloves
  • 1 Cinnamon Stick
  • 1 Vanilla Bean
  • Cardamom Pods
  • 1/2 glass Vodka or Cognac (optional)
  • Handful of Almonds and Raisins (optional)

    Directions: Pour a bottle of red wine in a sauce pan together with 1/2 cup sugar, 18 cloves, 1 cinnamon stick, some whole cardamom pods, 1 vanilla bean and heat slowly over medium heat. Don’t let it come to boil (unless you want a glögg without alcohol of course) Take of heat when sugar is completely melted. Let stand for an hour or two. Taste and add a bit more sugar if needed. If you want it stronger add 1/2 a glass of vodka or cognac. Heat it up before serving in a small cup or glass. Add a handful of almonds and raisins for added flavor.
