Holiday drinks just taste a little more special when there are decorations and lights illuminating the city. Here are a few places around Baton Rouge where you can get drinks and cocktails to help get in the holiday spirit.
Curbside Burgers
Curbside Burgers is putting an alcoholic twist on peppermint. Instead of a simple shake or latte, Curbside is serving up a frozen peppermint White Russian, allowing customers to have a little buzz with their burger. Pro tip: Use a candy cane as a stirrer to add an extra kick of peppermint to the drink.

French Truck is giving customers the tastes of the season with its holiday blend, La Fête De Noël. A conglomeration of South and Central American coffees, this blend brings sugary, caramel flavors in each sip.
