Atlantic City takes celebrating holidays very seriously and that’s especially true in the month of December. Everything that can be decorated will be decorated. You can hear lovely holiday music and see holiday dancers and holiday shows.
One of the best ways to spread holiday cheer is with delicious seasonal cocktails. And Atlantic City has a wide variety of these. You can find classics, like eggnog, hot buttered rum and mulled wine. You can also find many different boozy versions of hot chocolate.
Restaurants, clubs and pop up bars are offering creative Christmas cocktails highlighting flavors from tangy citrus to warm spices to cool peppermint. Atlantic City is home to some fabulous mixologists who come up with new seasonal sensational concoctions every year.
And if you are looking for seasonal mocktails, you’ll find a variety of them there too. You can also find some decadent after dinner drinks.
