Mixopedia: Yuletide Sippings • Sharkey’s First Christmas, a new holiday drink, rolls out this month at the four dozen or so bars hosting Sippin’ Santa, a seasonal bar pop-up created by Cocktail Kingdom. This drink is served in a custom mug featuring a shark that has clearly been overfed, and which has fearsome chompers and wears a Santa hat on its dorsal fin. The hat curls back to form a convenient handle. You know, standard holiday fare.
