Happy Hour: Mulled Manhattan

Mulled wine is one of the season's healthier hot beverages, but not everybody's crazy about it.

Mulled ManhattanMulled wine is one of the season's healthier hot beverages, but not everybody's crazy about it. If you find the notion of drinking hot wine off-putting, consider a cold drink infused with the same holiday spices as an alternative.

This bourbon-and-concord grape juice concoction, crafted by Christopher Tunnah at the Bedford Post in Bedford, NY, was designed to be a sort of mulled wine 2.0, with the same warming spice notes, medicinal aftertaste not included. It's sure to win over even the biggest mulled wine loather. Read on for the recipe.

5 Affordable Mail-Order Gifts and 10 to Splurge On

While it may be too late for some of these luxurious mail-order gifts to reach their doors by Christmas day, we see that as a boon rather than a downside. Instead, print out a picture of the gift at hand, tuck it into a beautiful card, and ask them when they'd prefer to receive the gift. As many of these treats are perishable by nature, this is actually a smarter move. It would be shameful if they went to waste!

It's time to switch up your normal party routine with a tea party — yes, a tea party! We're not talking the stuffy, proper, pinkie-raising party; what we have in mind is a modern (ahem, American) twist on a classic British favorite. After you've assembled homemade jams, fun takes on finger sandwiches, and even an easy-peasy scone recipe, CasaSugar will help you gather everything you need for a contemporary tea party — photo booth and crown confetti included. So fire up the oven and start brewing a pot of Earl Grey . . . it's teatime.
