Golden Road Brewing Educator Graham Ruchti has created two new festive cocktails for holiday imbibers to enjoy. He includes Golden Road’s seasonal specialty beer Christmas Cart offering a bright taste with a burst of cherry and cinnamon. The dark fruit, nutmeg, and slightly sweet flavor is refreshing to drink alone or to use when making holiday cocktails.

Here’s how to make ‘Spiced Spiked Cider’ 

Pour half a glass of Christmas Cart into a highball glass with ice. Pour half a glass of Apple Cider to the top. Stir and add a cinnamon stick for garnish and flavor.

How to make ‘Sleigh Bells’

Golden Road Brewing’s twist on the ‘Sleigh Bells’ holiday cocktail is made with real cherry in the Christmas Cart. This compliments the pomegranate juice and add pleasing baking spice flavors. For a tropical twist to the original cocktail use Golden Roads Champagno instead of sparkling wine. Champagno is a beer that tastes like a blend of our refreshing Mango Cart Wheat Ale with your favorite Champagne. It was inspired by mimosas, and made to serve during weekend or holiday brunch.

Perfect for holiday brunch

Golden Road’s ‘Sleigh Bells’

Build in a highball glass with ice, pour half a glass of Christmas Cart or Champagno, pour one ounce of pomegranate juice and garnish pomegranate seeds. Give a swirl.
