Share – hanukkah cocktails Recipe Slideshow at Epicurious.com.

I was curious, and I clicked through each of the 18 cocktails in this slide show.  Can anyone tell me what is particularly “Hanukkah” about any of these cocktails??  I’m not a cocktail-drinker – too much trouble, and I don’t have all the paraphernalia, but I don’t see why these particular cocktails are highlighted.

And, it makes me wonder, what is an appropriate drink to serve for a Hanukkah party?  Mulled cider, maybe?  Please share your thoughts (as I am throwing a Hanukkah party this weekend!!)
