This season, Patron is camping out on a Yorkville strip to provide complimentary gift wrapping and Christmas-y cocktails to stressed-out shoppers. All are best washed down with provisions from the Naughty or Nice Bar, Cluny’s lit-up tunnel bar, the Tree Lot Bar or Archeo’s mixology bar. This year’s vendors specialize in gooey Swiss raclette, mini doughnuts, crispy schnitzel, steaming pretzels and spicy patatas bravas. The Distillery District’s annual holiday blowout needs little introduction-the postcard-perfect outdoor market is a staple every season. From now until the end of December.Ī post shared by The Distillery District Distillery District’s Winter Village The drink menu includes spirited options like Jingle Juice, a Peppermintini, and something called Santa’s Day Off. The inside space is an adult winter wonderland (lights galore, a tree made out of Jameson bottles) while the back patio channels Christmas in Hawaii, complete with sand-in-your-toes set-ups, Santa’s sleigh (filled with complimentary leis), umbrella drinks and a giant teddy bear.

Food veers towards holiday feast-like dinner bomb croquettes (an entire turkey dinner in a crispy ball), roasted pumpkin hummus, chocolate bark and strawberry cheesecake dip. For those receiving coal this year, the “naughty” cocktails include brandy-spiked mulled wine and gingerbread negronis, while good boys and girls (of legal drinking age, that is) can sip on North Pole Spritzes and Uncle Terry’s mules. Leaning fully into holiday kitsch, Project Gigglewater completely decked out their halls, gift-wrapping the walls and adorning the ceiling with a canopy of twinkling lights, tinsel and glowing ornaments.
