Africa
If you’re looking to warm up this holiday season, pop on over to one of our fave spots — Dawa Bar! There we spotted the Sikukuu Holiday Festival Cocktail, which is a yummy mixture of White Sangria, Cointreau, Cranberry Juice, Soda Water, AND it comes with a Souvenir Glow Cube. Snag this guy for $17.
