Or stir up a Gunfire , traditionally served to British soldiers on Christmas Day. Need to sell your house? Ask St. Joseph for his help and honor his patronage with a Sazerac , made with wormwood in honor of his trade as a carpenter. Drinking with Your Patron Saints gives you a saint for every occasion.
