Fun Drink Recipes For The Holidays

With Christmas just over a week away – we figure that y’all are at peak holiday party season to which we thought we would be helpful and make your holiday party season a little more easier in preparation by sharing some fun drink recipes! For Thanksgiving, we shared a post on what to bring if you don’t cook (be sure to check that out for some tasty recipes that work excellently for all holiday parties) so keeping up with that theme we thought we would share some fun easy drink recipes that are easy to re-create for those of you who may not consider yourselves seasoned bartenders/ mixologists! Not only are these recipes delish, but they also include some fun traditional holiday mixes and most importantly all of these are sure to please your friends and get you off the hook for cooking this holiday!

Before we get into the recipes- consider checking out amazon or the nearest target to find some pitchers to serve your tasty drinks in because well this is key to your drink contribution! To make it extra festive and fancy- consider adding seasonal garnishes to your pitcher. For holiday drinks, consider fresh herbs or whole spices. Anise looks beautiful and rosemary stems will add some greenery to your pitcher. Perhaps try cinnamon sticks, lemon, or oranges. When you are adding garnishes to your drink, make sure you consider how they will flavor the drink and add them on your way out the door so they look fresh! Of course some of the recipes we are sharing have their own fruit or garnish so that makes them super easy.

2. Cranberry St. Germain Cocktail – Check out this fun drink recipe from well-plated! There are multiple ways to create this cocktail, with several options for alcohol, or you can make it without alcohol for everyone at the table. We love this one because of the beautiful red cranberries and the ease of being able to choose different types of alcohol depending on preference.
3. Mulled Cider –  Check out this recipe from Oh so Delicious to find out how to make this classic holiday drink!

5. Cranberry Mimosa – And last but certainly not least, when in doubt go with a classic cranberry mimosa!
