Cocktails and Classics

Ho-ho-holy Moly! This week on Cocktails & Classics, we're diving headfirst into the sugary, sticky world of Will Ferrell's iconic 2003 Christmas comedy, Elf! Join us as we sip on a New York Sour (Recipe included below!) and dissect the film's over-the-top humor, holiday nostalgia, and it's pop culture staying power.

Prepare for:

• The Mount Rushmore of Christmas Movies: We dive into what Holiday classics are deserving of being on the Christmas Mt. Rushmore. Is Elf on there?
• Millennial Christmas: Is Elf the "A Christmas Story" of our generation? We unpack Cameron's theory that Elf is Millenial's annual go-to classic and it has surpassed A Christmas Story in their eyes.
• Elf Trivia Throwdown with Dylan: Brush up on your candy cane trivia skills! Dylan throws down a gauntlet of Elf trivia questions to test our knowledge.
• A New York Sour to Warm Your Spirits: We'll mix up the perfect New York Sour cocktail, a tart and delicious concoction inspired by the film's NYC locale.

So raise a glass of eggnog (or a New York Sour!), settle in for some festive fun, and join us as we rediscover the magic of Elf – with a twist of taste!
