‘Tis the season for uncomfortable holiday parties, and today is no exception. Today is my company holiday party. I love where I work, but I am one of the most awkward people you’ll ever meet and I don’t do well with “networking”.  This is where the drinks come in to save me.

Rob Roy Holiday Style

• 2 oz Scotch
• 1/4 oz dry vermouth
• 1/4 oz sweet vermouth
• 1/4 oz Drambuie

Coat inside of glass with Drambuie. Stir remaining ingredients in mixing glass with ice and strain. Top with a cherry. Drink copious amounts to help you socialize with coworkers. Hope in earnest that they don’t read your column or if they do, they don’t know it’s you.
