Be the Hero, Save the Christmas Party, Bring a Bottle of Premium Spirits
We can’t all be Detective John McClane and save a Christmas Party ala Die Hard, but we can still ensure that a gathering stays well libated with these few premium spirits
Love it or hate it, Die Hard is the ultimate Christmas movie. Think about it, Die Hard is literally a story about a cynical guy who has to overcome immense odds in order to learn the true meaning of Christmas. John McClane is pretty darned heroic too – he’s not your stereotypical Rambo-esque, muscle-bound ex-special forces soldier, instead, he’s a dad (with a dad bod to boot), trying to salvage his marriage, when a bunch of Euro-trash terrorists humbug his estranged wife’s Christmas eve party. It sucks, but what’s a man to do? Save Christmas of course.
Guess what else sucks – A Christmas party potentially running out of booze. Guess who is it up to save Christmas? You, my friend; That’s why Luxuo has taken it upon ourselves to put together this list of premium spirits with which you can use to orchestrate your own Christmas miracle, Beretta and (increasingly dirty) tank top not required.
