It’s sweater weather. That’s right. Sweater weather. This means the knits and jackets that have been collecting dust the past few months now get their time in the spotlight. However, when the cozy threads make their autumnal debut, so do comforting holiday drinks like eggnog, mulled wine and hot buttered rum. Now, I’m not saying the occasional frothy bevvy is completely off limits, but why waste all those calories on something that will not only bring on the bloat, but also a sugar-induced hangover? Don’t fret, because Truly Spiked and Sparkling wants you to sip on delish cocktails all season long, soaking in the warm vibes minus the excess carbs, sweeteners and cals. You’ll thank us when your friends rush in panic to the gym in May.
