Hussey Photography Gifts “And to All a Good Nightcap: The 12 Cocktails of Christmas” | The Agency Hack Designs

Written by Tom Hussey

And to All a Good Nightcap: The 12 Cocktails of Christmas is all about capturing the heart of the holiday spirit through mixology and storytelling. Each cocktail in this series isn’t just a recipe—it’s a celebration of tradition, creativity, and the joy we share during this magical season.

With this project, I reimagined Christmas as a blend of flavors, community, and the cultural traditions that make the holidays so special. Santa himself takes the lead, narrating each drink with his signature charm and nostalgia. From the boldness of The Smoking Gun to the tropical refreshment of the Key West Mojito, each cocktail tells a story, inviting you to savor not just the taste but the moments they create.

This project wouldn’t have been possible without an incredible team. A huge thank you to Patty Hussey from The Production Party for her amazing work as producer and stylist, and played the part of Santa for the drink images. Thanks also to Ken Womack and Mike Stopper from The Agency Hack, for bringing it all together with their fantastic title and design.

For me, this project is about more than cocktails—it’s about celebrating the joy of connection, the stories we share, and the memories we create over a glass. Here’s to raising a toast to life’s most spirited moments. Cheers!
