This Maine Bar’s Gingerbread Bear Cocktail Might Be the Cutest Holiday Drink Yet

It’s the cozy holiday season in Hallowell, Maine.

If you’ve never been, it’s a quintessential small-town Maine scene: snow on the ground, a river running alongside the town, and a cluster of little bars and restaurants all nestled together. It’s the kind of place that makes you want to be with friends, or in love, holding hands and skipping through the snow as you hop from one bar to the next.

As you wander through downtown, you might stumble upon a little nook called The Maine House. Step inside, and you’re greeted with warm lights, a friendly atmosphere, and live music.

If you’re craving holiday-themed cocktails, comforting soups, or a classic grilled cheese, this is the spot to be.

Feeling adventurous?

Try an adult beverage served in a plastic bear! “The Gingerbread Bear” is not only adorable, but it’s delicious.

Vanilla vodka, Baileys, cream, ginger-clove syrup, whipped cream, and a sprinkle of nutmeg. The bear even wears a little scarf, adding a fun, festive touch.

Other seasonal drinks include a boozy hot cocoa to warm you on chilly nights, or the “Maple May I”, made with Maine’s own Chadwicks Maple Spirits and warm espresso, served over maple-butter pecan ice cream. Seriously, it’s indulgence at its finest.

And the food is just as comforting. Warm up with tomato bisque soup and a sourdough grilled cheese, it’s the ultimate winter pairing.

While many local bars and restaurants offer holiday-themed menus, The Maine House really stands out. Its cozy atmosphere, creative cocktails, and comforting food make it the perfect place to forget the cold and enjoy great company.

And that Gingerbread Bear cocktail is just as adorable as it is delicious.
