On the Third Day of Christmas, Spectrum Design Group Gives You: Three Holiday Cocktails

On the third day of Christmas, Spectrum Design Group gives you: Three Holiday Cocktails, Two Resolutions, and a New Website in a pear tree.

Welcome to Holiday Cocktails with Dawn and Cory.

There’s nothing better than snuggling by a fire with the people you love during the holidays. Imagine Christmas carols playing throughout your home, little kids’ laughter in the background, and the scent of fresh-baked cookies. The only thing you are missing is a pretty cocktail in hand. While we know that this all sounds like a dream holiday and our realities may be different, either way, you can’t go wrong with trying out one of our specialty cocktails.
