Cocktails To Warm Up Your Winter in Stockton, California
"Baby, it's cold outside"... sorry for calling you baby... ANYWAYS, with the holidays in full swing and the drop in temperature, we're all on the lookout for something to keep us warm, spicy, and/or cozy. And what better way to warm up your night (or day–no judgement) than a nice cocktail from a Stockton food spot!
Bud's Seafood Grille
If you're looking for a place that is definitely in the holiday spirit with their drinks, Bud's Seafood Grille is the holly jolly spot. This year, they've got FOUR spectacular cocktails for you to enjoy: Christmas Cookie, White Christmas Margarita, Santa's Hat & White Chocolate Peppermint Martini. Now, it's not required for you to say "ho ho ho" as you finish these off - but it's also not frowned upon.
Midgley's Public House

Papapavlo's Bistro & Bar
This season, Papapvalo's is serving not one, not two, but a whole lineup of delightful cocktails to warm you up.

You can try any one of these or ALL of them - but you may need some assistance after...
FIRED Pizza
There's nothin' that matches a hot-off-the-brick-stove savory pizza—unless of course you pair it with a festive beverage! That's exactly what FIRED Pizza has for you this holiday season. This year they're featuring their FIRED CIDER, which is a blend of their Cadre Grüner mixed with organic apple cider, a splash of martinellis, and finished off with garnishes. That sounds like a lot of "mmmmmm"...
