Weekend guide: Things to do

It’s beginning to look and feel a lot like Christmas.

Sacramento’s chilly weather the past few days has been a nice surprise. This weekend’s forecast doesn’t show signs of any rain, which makes for the perfect opportunity to head to DOCO for the Makers Market or participate in the ugly sweater night at the ice skating rink.

Here are events happening in Sacramento from Dec. 16 to 18.

Sacramento newbies

Like any other person during the holidays I enjoy a sweet holiday inspired drink.

This past week I visited The Cabin, a bar in Midtown that lives up to its name. While I was there I felt as if I had been transported to Tahoe for the day.

I ordered the Gimme S’mores drink — a martini. The fancy concoction included Smirnoff vanilla vodka, cream, graham crackers and it even comes with a marshmallow! Beware the drink is strong, but delicious.

If you’re looking for a cozy bar to grab drinks check out The Cabin and let me know your thoughts.
