A Christmas Story Cocktail recipe

You've made it to December, congratulations! While we've admittedly been binging Christmas music since the day after Thanksgiving, we know it’s a long way until St. Nick does some light B and E. 

In the spirit of gift-giving all month long, we pulled the Yule Shoot Your Rye Out cocktail recipe straight off our Santa’s Luau menu and are sharing it here. Make it at home or saddle up to our bar and we'll do the lift for ya.
