We all love traditional winter drinks like mulled wine, spiked Eggnog, and The Hot Toddy. Broaden your bar tending horizons this holiday season and impress your guests with something new! Here are six of our most favorite and delicious holiday-themed drinks. There's a recipe for everyone's favorite liquor!
Everyone loves eating gingerbread cookies but have you ever tried
drinking one? This
Gingerbread Martini recipe from All Recipes is festive and delicious. The recipe calls for ginger and vanilla liquors as well as coffee flavored rum but you may like it with coffee-flavored liquor, instead. Rimming the glass with crushed ginger snaps is a decadent touch.
For traditionalists, a French Connection mixed drink like
this recipe from Food Viva is a safe bet. Cognac and Amaretto go perfectly together and taste like the holidays. Garnish with citrus zest and you are set!
Champagne is another favorite for holiday guests. Try making a round of Chambord Kir Royale's for everyone with
this delicious recipe from Liquor.com. Garnish with citrus rind or raspberries to really send it over the top, like the first photo in this post from Beverage Events!
If you enjoy peppermint, you'll love this
Candy Cane Cocktail from Food Network. You can use vanilla vodka instead of vanilla rum or even skip the rum altogether for a somewhat lighter drink. With the white chocolate liquor and peppermint schnapps, you probably won't miss it!
For a holiday twist on a Vodka Soda, try this
Bolshoi Basil cocktail from Marie Claire. The basil adds a unique flavor and gorgeous color. For my holiday party I will also be adding cranberries to garnish for a special Christmas touch.
And last but certainly not least, this flaming English
Holiday Punch recipe from Esquire Magazine will certainly wow your guests! This particular recipe is actually the writer Charles Dickens' own recipe and uses Cognac and rum. More traditional Holiday Punches call for a bottle of dry red wine, as well. Be careful with this flaming recipe as it is for seasoned professionals only.
