Cocktail Confidential: Holiday Punch Bowls and Cocktails

The revival of the cocktail is still going strong. While wine is a safe and classic option, the addition of a signature cocktail or punch bowl to your holiday gathering can add a layer of color and creativity to your upcoming soiree. 

Tim Chin, known to many as the Boy with the Blue Beard, is a food photographer, blogger, craft bartender, and  local food and wine personality.  He joins Tom in Studio A to share some timely cocktail and holiday punch bowl recipes.  Here are two of his favorites:
