🎄🌴 Permanent Vacation’s third annual Christmas Cookout is pure holiday chaos—in the best way. This isn’t hosted or sponsored!

We sipped our way through:
🍒 Jingle Balls
😇 Angels Fall
🌿 Metatron’s Mixer (a surprisingly perfect mocktail with aloe, papaya, cranberry & oregano)
🔥 The Flaming Sword — their hot cocktail this year, basically a pineapple upside-down cake in a glass

And yes… we also crushed the burger special 🍔
Christmas, but make it tiki, weird, and wildly delicious.
