Once the big dinner’s leftovers have been put away, there’s plenty to celebrate: Namely, that the time with your in-laws is coming to a close, and before long, you and your honey will be able to score some precious alone time. Here are a few cocktails to whip up for your guests if you’re feeling nice, or for you and your significant other if you’re feeling naughty:

Garnish: Grated nutmeg
Steam until butter dissolves, and serve.
