For the quintessential holiday bevy, look no further than @trilogycoffee's "Ch’ Wassail"

Coming from the Anglo-Saxon phrase meaning 'Good health,' Trilogy Coffee Roasting's "Ch’ Wassail" is a chai-based cider bevy that's straight out of tales from Christmases long, long ago! This traditional holiday beverage is made of real apple cider, ginger, lemon, and other warm spices that will scratch the Holiday itch you didn't know was inside you.

Cozy up at @thelounge_artisandowntown with a cup of "Abuela’s Coquito" 🥥

Meaning "Little Coconut" in Spanish, "Abuela’s Coquito" is a traditional Christmas drink from Puerto Rico. Similar to eggnog, this coconut-based alcoholic beverage is sometimes referred to as Puerto Rican Eggnog, and is widely and lovingly made in many Latin cultures.

Liberty, the manager of The Lounge, shares a story of a dear friend of hers, in which the friend, her sisters and their mother would get together over Thanksgiving to make large batches of their family’s coquito recipe to give as gifts over the holidays. In addition to the traditional rum-based coquito, the Lounge also offers a spirit-free version. Both the traditional and its spirit-free sister are available to enjoy in the Lounge or bottled and ready to take home and share as gifts this holiday season.
