It’s cold out. Have a cocktail.

— Justin M. Wilson

As temperatures drop and Calgarians settle in for the chillier months, we at Dining Out want to show you we care by keeping you warm this winter with something we know a thing or two about. Cocktails. Surely, many of you will have already enjoyed one or two at your company Christmas party — you know, when you told your boss how you really feel — but we’re here to offer a bit more direction and a bit less awkwardness in 2016.

Poor judgment around colleagues aside, this is the perfect time of year to warm your cockles with friends, family and some tasty, tasty beverages. Who knows? Some of these delicious mixtures might deliver the confidence you need to finally ask out the new accounts supervisor. He can supervise my accounts any day…

Anyway… Have a look at our selection of three drinks you need to explore while the snow falls. And don’t be afraid to drop us a line via Facebook or Twitter to let us know where to find your favourite YYC cocktail!
