Maksim Chmerkovskiy probably doesn't need a stiff drink to get going on the dance floor. But if you do, here's one of the Dancing with the Stars pro's libations of choice.

RdV Lounge – a New York City hotspot that's been visited by stars including Hayden Panettiere, Michael Phelps, Tyson Beckford, Serena Williams and David Arquette – serves up a spicy swill infused with berries and topped with mistletoe. Dubbed "The RdV Resolution" in the spirit of the New Year, the holiday treat can now be enjoyed by guests at your New Year's Eve party.
