Jingle Juice
Nina West Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And the traffic′s getting worse
My credit cards are maxed out
And I'm trying not to curse
As I sit behind the only crying baby on the plane
I dream of sweet salvation at my hometown bar, again
And I say...
A bourbon cherry on top
It's 5 O' clock on Santa′s sleigh
I′ll have a merry margarita
A peppermint sangria
Gonna chase my winter blues away
I'll take a jingle juice and gin, please
A gingerbread martini
Been naughty all year anyway
I′ll have an apple hot toddy
Puttin' Bailey′s in my coffee
Drinking jingle juice all night and day
I say hello to Sam the shark
Hustlin' Billiard′s to the fools
While Lynette is slingin' drinks
And Johnny's fallin′ off his stool
This sanctuary′s sacred when it's cold and you′re alone
We're singin′ all our praises in our home away from home
And we say...
Cheers to the rum and cheers to the wine
Cheers to the spirits keeping spirits alive
I hear Christmas a knockin' but there′s no one home
St. Nick come and find us at the watering hole
Nina West's Jingle Juice is a holiday-themed song that talks about the stressors of the holiday period, coupled with the desire to escape and seek solace in a local bar. The lyrics depict a relatable situation most people find themselves in during the holiday season – with traffic congestion, financial pressures, and crying babies. West's cure for these holiday blues is to quench her thirst with various alcoholic beverages, ranging from jingle juice, eggnog, bourbon cherry, peppermint sangria, gin, gingerbread martini, apple hot toddy, and Bailey's coffee. She also paints a picture of camaraderie – the ritual of seeing familiar faces, both patrons and staff, in local bars during the holidays.
Overall, the song depicts the dichotomy of the holiday period – the pressure associated with the happiness, the stress, and cheer, and the need for escape and relaxation. The song espouses that a quick stop to a local bar, like Cheers, is the perfect remedy to enjoy good company, let loose and indulge in some festive-themed drinks.

The holidays are here
It is the festive season
And the traffic's getting worse
The roads are congested due to holiday travel
My credit cards are maxed out
I have spent a lot of money on holiday shopping
And I'm trying not to curse
I am trying to remain calm and patient
As I sit behind the only crying baby on the plane
I am frustrated by the noise of a crying baby during my flight
I dream of sweet salvation at my hometown bar, again
I long for the comfort of my local bar
And I say...
I turn to alcohol to cope with holiday stress

And Johnny's fallin' off his stool
One of the patrons has had too much to drink
This sanctuary's sacred when it's cold and you're alone
The bar is a welcoming place during the holiday season
We're singin' all our praises in our home away from home
We are celebrating the holiday season in our second home, the bar
Cheers to the rum and cheers to the wine
Let's toast to the different alcoholic beverages available
Cheers to the spirits keeping spirits alive
Let's toast to the holiday spirit and joy
I hear Christmas a knockin' but there's no one home
I am not feeling the holiday spirit
St. Nick come and find us at the watering hole
I hope to find the holiday spirit at my local bar
