Gold, frankincense, and myrrh. They are all literally in this drink! Dubbed “Gift of the Magi,” the two latter ingredients enter in as an aromatic of atomised essential oils. Then, pear and white cacao drive sweetness through this champagne based cocktail. It’s fun and celebratory, layered and interesting. (swipe once to see the drink on its own)

We had this at Junior, a favorite of ours in Singapore. With an excellent, friendly, and inventive team, we tip our hats to a bar that deserves extra recognition on this special day. A little bar that could and can. Follow @juniorthepocketbar

“Gift of the Magi” is shown here paired with the bar’s seasonal snack of warmed Christmas cookies, which caps off a special insert to the main menu: an all holiday offering of five Christmas themed drinks. A touch too sweet? Maybe. But the holidays are a time for comfort food and drink anyway. The special menu even has Junior’s take on the holiday classic of eggnog. We also tried “A Carajillo For Christmas.” That drink features a absolutely delectable topping of gingerbread cream! (swipe to the end to see)

And on that note, Merry Christmas from Kayo, Buffy, Ynna, Naina, and Veronica. That’s all of us who write for you at www.dailydrinkmag.com. We wish you a season filled with excellent meals and even more exceptional drinks!
