Your reaction is most likely the direct effect of tasting one of the <a href=\"https:\/\/7908aspen.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"7908 Supper Club\u2019s (opens in a new tab)\">7908 Supper Club\u2019s<\/a> two featured holiday cocktails, which aim to set off most millennial Christmastime nostalgia triggers imaginable.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Special Sections-ATW-ATW_Body_Serif\">Blame it on the alcohol \u2014 no \u2014 Matt Corbin, director of spirits at 7908.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Special Sections-ATW-ATW_Body_Serif\">Over the past 15 years, Corbin has tended bar in a number of places, ranging from one of the rooftop bars in Charleston, South Carolina, to a streetcar in Cambodia. He\u2019s built award-winning drink programs and is working on a series of new \u201cweird science\u201d techniques and draft cocktails at the Aspen supper club.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Special Sections-ATW-ATW_Body_Serif\">But although he says he and his team are constantly striving to bring the \u201cwow factor\u201d to their alcoholic beverages, there are some cocktails, like the holiday specials, that are all about paying homage to past.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Special Sections-ATW-ATW_Body_Serif\">\u201cMy mom loves Christmas, it\u2019s like her Super Bowl,\u201d Corbin said, laughing. \u201cAll of the flavors and smells are engrained in me and make their way into the cocktails.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"Special Sections-ATW-ATW_Body_Serif\">Until mid-January at the 7908 Supper Club, patrons can sip on Corbin\u2019s nostalgia with an order of the Kevin McCallister; the XMAS Vacation, which is a hot chocolate, bourbon, green Chartreuse and marshmallow blend; a draft holiday-spiced mule; or the Broken Arrow, a tribute to the cinnamon-nutmeg-blood orange medley Corbin\u2019s mom brews at Christmas.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Special Sections-ATW-ATW_Body_Serif\">But for holiday homebodies like myself, Corbin suggested taking a trip down memory lane and pulling from your own ghosts of Christmas past to craft the perfect cocktails this holiday season. Guess mine will have to be some alcoholic blend of Buddy the Elf\u2019s candy spaghetti, which I have no shame in writing is absolutely delicious.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.aspentimes.com\/news\/how-to-holiday-cocktail-with-7908-supper-clubs-matt-corbin\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">via:: The Aspen Times<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The XMAS Vacation holiday cocktail, available through mid-January at the 7908 Supper Club.Courtesy 7908 Supper Club Matt Corbin puts the finishing touches on four Kevin McCallister cocktails at the 7908 Supper Club.Courtesy 7908 Supper Club The Kevin McCallister cocktail at 7908 Supper Club in Aspen.Courtesy 7908 Supper Club Show CaptionsHide Captions What happens when you [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[49],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2452584","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","category-local-news"],"acf":[],"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2026-08-19 00:35:03","action":"change-status","newStatus":"draft","terms":[],"taxonomy":"category","extraData":[]},"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"distributor_meta":false,"distributor_terms":false,"distributor_media":false,"distributor_original_site_name":"KSPN The Valley&#039;s Quality Rock","distributor_original_site_url":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kspn","push-errors":false,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kspn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2452584","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kspn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kspn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kspn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kspn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2452584"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kspn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2452584\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kspn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2452584"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kspn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2452584"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kspn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2452584"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
