Intermezzo Coffee & Cocktails announced that the concept will be taken over by all things Christmas beginning November 29 aka Black Friday.
Miracle at Mezzo is basically a five-week straight Christmas celebration where Intermezzo will be drowning in the holiday spirit with lights, garlands, and ribbons accompanied by classic Christmas tunes.
There will be nine festival cocktails on the menu; one of which is a “Christmapolitan” made up of vodka, elderflower, dry vermouth, spiced cranberry sauce, lime, rosemary and absinthe mist. Or the Koala-La La La, La La La La, which is a mouthful in itself, but also another tipsy concoction, with gin, pine tea cordial, grapefruit oleo and eucalyptus bitters.
Fingers crossed for colder weather so you can order the Bad Santa made up of rum, Batavia Arrack, black Chai tea, date-infused oat milk, and vanilla syrup.
Wouldn't be Christmas without shots — the Nice Shot is made up of rum, peppermint tea, and chocolate; or turn to the dark side with the Naughty Shot with bourbon and cinnamon.
Never too early to get festive, and you can treat yourself to a stiff one after all of your Black Friday shopping madness.
