Last year on our Batch Cocktails episode, Pat and Chris made big batches of eggnog and aged them for 12 months. Now it's time to try them and hopefully not get sick. Additionally, Roger has cooked up a really easy cranberry simple syrup and has three cocktails to try out.

Le Beaujolais Nouveau est arrivé! Just a few days ago, we celebrated the 2020 release of Beaujolais Nouveau, an annual celebration on the third Thursday of every November. This wine from the Gamay variety has origins in post-WWII France when wineries were cash-poor.

The Peppermint Grasshopper is a festive twist on the classic creamy cocktail, making it a perfect choice for holiday celebrations. With its smooth blend of crème de menthe, crème de cacao, and fresh cream, this indulgent drink balances cool mint with rich chocolate, creating a decadent holiday treat in a glass.
