Oak Bar holiday cocktails
’Tis the season for decadence
BY NINA MACLAUGHLIN

  PREVIOUS COLUMNS

It’s a tough time of year. Winter winds cut through your coat, and holiday commotion drains the color from your cheeks. The Oak Bar at the Fairmont Copley Plaza has just the thing to warm your bones and restore that red-cheeked holiday glow. Now through New Year’s, the Oak Bar is offering two festive cocktails. Sip these slowly in the warmth of this famed establishment, where people smoke cigarettes like movie stars and take themselves too seriously, and you’ll get a glimpse of how the other half lives. The warm, sweet Celsius ($9) is a combination of hot apple cider, tuaca, chartreuse, and Captain Morgan’s spiced rum. (We think Posh Spice might’ve been a better name.) The White Christmas ($14) includes Godiva white-chocolate liqueur, peppermint schnapps, and vanilla Stoli. It’s a liquid candy cane with a decidedly grown-up twist. During these weeks of holiday cheer and chaos, when beer gets boring and you’re in the mood to live beyond your means, head over to the Oak Bar for festive decadence.

Available at the Oak Bar at the Fairmont Copley Plaza, 138 St. James Avenue, in Boston. Call (617) 267-5300.
