Composer/electronic musician Ricardo Romaneiro's new scores for silent German Expressionist movies have been some of the biggest treats of the last couple of years. Now he goes further back in time to Thomas Edison's very early (and very short) screen adaptation of A Christmas Carol — a film that (let's face it) doesn't approach the Expressionist stuff artistically, but whose presentation will surely be dripping with holiday charm.

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT: Merry Christmas: pour 1 oz. each of Gin and cranberry juice, and 1 teaspoon of lemon juice, into a Collins glass over ice. Stir. Top with club soda. Garnish with a few cocktail cherries.
