As the New Year approaches, we could all use some ideas to make our parties just that little bit more festive. There is, of course, the notorious Crosby’s Tears beer from Philadelphia (I imagine it tastes like Canada), but here are some other hockey-themed drinks you can make so you’re good and hungover during the Winter Classic. Please consume responsibly.

Hockey Is Our Game
2 1/2 oz Maple Liqueur
1 oz Goldschlager

Mix with ice, strain into martini glass. Sing O Canada and drink with one hand over your heart.
