What are you drinking?

To honor St. Nicholas (Santa Claus) today, you can give out bags of gold as he did, or you could punch a heretic in the mouth as he did, or you could bring back to life murdered children as he did.  Or, you could just toast him with a drink or two.

Here are your drink recommendations:

Cocktails

            Rum Toddy

St. Nicholas’s Helper

Bishop’s Wine

Beer

            Sankt Nikolai Abbey Tripel from Warwick Bryghus Aps Brewery in Denmark

Toast of the Day

            “To the real Santa Claus, scourge of heretics and champion of the poor: May he help us defend the faith and assist the needy.”
