Various Artists – Best Of Christmas Cocktails
For some, the holidays are the welcome arrival of a whole new slew of alcoholic drinks. Mulled wine, stiffly prepared eggnog, and coffee heated with various blended concoctions of spirits and liqueurs. For those types of gatherings, why look past the honored background music that have been swinging bachelor pads since the Rat Pack? The Best Of Christmas Cocktails combines into one album, the best of a three volume series that focused on 1950’s popular vocalist and bandleaders. For guests who consider these songs too kitschy to be entertaining, show those squares the door. From Dean Martin’s warm croon “Winter Wonderland” to the cute bubblegum pop of Ray Anthony’s “Christmas Kisses”, everything seems brightened with blasting brass ensembles or prettied with soaring string arrangements. And when the exotic slack key guitar on Bob Atcher “Christmas Island” has you dreaming of the Maui break, you’ll want to dust out your Tiki glasses for a round of toasts and shots
