Buzzed with the Happy Hour Honeys: Holiday Special!

In this episode, we discuss where to do your holiday drinking in Portland, address the serious issue of Portland's lack of pop-up holiday bars, and share some quality holiday drinking stories. Per usual, we suggest drinking some egg nog, toddy's, mulled wine (you get the idea) to get in the spirit while enjoying this episode.

 
A Visual Guide to the Holiday Special:

Our podcast drink: Smitten Kitchen's Fairytale in New York (aka Old Fashioneds with fancy holiday-y syrup).

Sake Bomb Party

Year one when we had sushi, sake, sochu, bad sweaters, and Korean drinking games. Normal.


Year two when we had pizza for economical reasons, but kept everything else. 


Why was Katie shaming the Kelly's??
