Jason Van Auken, our Resort Mixologist, is back with round two. One look at these festive cocktails and you will want to add them to the menu for holiday entertaining. Perfect additions to Christmas dinner or sipped while bundled up under a blanket next to the fire.

We encourage you to share these recipes and make them at home over the holidays. If you have plans to visit our resort in Kohler, Wisconsin over the holidays, make sure you swing by The Immigrant Restaurant & Winery Bar and have Jason make one just for you. Join us as we raise a glass and toast to health and happiness – we hope you enjoy these cocktails!
