It’s the most wonderful time of the year for a warm winter cocktail. Take a break from the chaos of the holidays and cozy up by the fire, warm drink in hand on the Vanderbilt’s outdoor patio. Or head to Gurneys for the best view of Narragansett Bay and enjoy a signature cocktail in one of their themed heated igloos. Our local bars and restaurants know how to serve a winter beverage.

 

These cozy cocktails have us thinking that Christmas came early this year and we are definitely okay with it.
