With all the tree lighting ceremonies around Boston, it’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas, and the restaurants are pulling out their holiday menus. Temazcal’s En Fuego Margarita will keep you warm while the Mistletoe Martini at Davio’s may make you think of that special someone. If you care to venture into the city, the Seaport Hotel has a set of champagne cocktails perfect for celebrations.
Here’s a roundup of some of the best seasonal cocktails in the area.
This elegant cocktail from Davio’s may be the little push you need to experience the magic of mistletoe this holiday season.
