c. green grapes,

What's your favorite drink to make for Christmas?

cranberries: 
 I freeze them and use them as ice cubes. festive look, but no need to eat them or water down cocktail with ice. 
 kids : I keep sparkling juice but use ginger ale in place of champagne. (ginger adds great holiday flavoring ) 
 Serving EVERYONE :I make one decorative bowl of Christmas mixture with ladle. Champagne and ginger ale next to it. Pour either fizzy,top with ladle of Christmas mixture. You decide how much alcohol suits you each time and how much soda kids get (Also keeps champagne/ginger from going flat quickly) I also keep whiskey and chambord next too bowl (for those who need a swift kick )

I do them every year, but I’m replacing raspberries for the cranberries.

My daughter made these for a gathering recently, they are AWESOME!  Will be making them for the holidays to share.

This is delicious!! We doubled the recipe, and served it up at our Thanksgiving feast.

Doubled the recipe for a party and Added raspberries, 1c berry vodka & 1c bourbon...It was a hit!

The only thing you need in your hand while you open presents.

Christmosas are the Most Magical Concoction for Christmas Morning!

This deliciously creamy eggnog recipe is a little taste of Christmas history. George Washington, the first American president, even made his own eggnog, and is very clear about ageing it for a few days to let the flavour mellow.

500 milliliters/18fl oz whole milk

400 milliliters/14fl oz double cream

Sweet, but in a good way. This drink is a mix of vodka and Kahlúa, sweetened with real maple syrup and flavored with vanilla, a little molasses, cinnamon, and ginger, then topped with a splash of sweetened condensed milk. Buddy would love it, and you will too!

This classic drink belongs to the sour category of cocktails and can be made with or without egg white. I prefer it with egg white, for a silky texture and a more balanced, well-rounded drink.

Whiskey sour

milliliters/2fl oz water

milliliters/2fl oz bourbon whiskey

milliliters/1fl oz freshly squeezed lemon juice

Angostura bitters

Ponche Navideño is a hot punch served with or without alcohol during the holiday season and most generally during Las Posadas. On those chilly nights, this warm and fragrant infusion warms you from the inside out.

½ pound tejocotes or crab apples (left whole)

guavas

red apples

pear

prunes

raisins

orange (sliced)

cone piloncillo (chopped or 1 cup dark brown sugar)

In a large pot, over high heat, boil water, cinnamon sticks, cloves, tamarind, and tejocotes. After it starts to boil, lower the heat and simmer for about 10 minutes until the tejocotes are soft.

Remove the tejocotes from the heat, peel, remove hard ends, cut in half, and deseed. Return them to the pot.

Add guavas, apples, pears, sugar cane, prunes, orange slices, and piloncillo.

Simmer for at least 30 minutes, stirring gently. Discard cinnamon sticks and cloves.

Ladle into cups, making sure each cup gets some chunks of fruit.

Add brandy or tequila to each cup (optional).

The Christmas Island is a holiday tiki drink similar to a pina colada with allspice and other wintry spices. It's festive and tropical at the same time.

Divide the cocktail equally between the two glasses.

Garnish with your choice of fruits, spices, swizzle sticks, tiny umbrellas, and what have you. In my opinion, more is never too much! 

Serve immediately.

The boulevardier is simply a variation on the classic negroni. The champion spirit here is bourbon, alongside sweet red vermouth and Campari.

Boulevardier

milliliters/1fl oz bourbon

milliliters/1fl oz Campari

This apple cider hot toddy with vodka will warm you from the inside out. On a warm day, chill the drink and serve over ice.

Honey Vodka & Apple Cider Hot Toddy

(175 ml) apple cider (preferably fresh-pressed)

(60 ml) water

ginger root (to your taste)

cinnamon and freshly grated nutmeg

lemon juice (or more to your taste)

honey (or less if your apple cider is on the sweet side)

cinnamon stick, apple slice,

Combine the apple cider, water, ginger, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a small saucepan and bring to a bare simmer.

Meanwhile, combine the vodka and lemon juice in a mug.

Strain the hot spiced cider into the mug, discarding the solids. Stir in the honey until melted. Taste, adding more lemon or honey to balance the drink if need be.

Garnish with a cinnamon stick, apple round, and/or lemon wheel and enjoy!

The Merry Mocktail

rosemary simple syrup

pomegranate juice (cranberry juice is a good sub)

club soda lime

Heat the water, sugar, rosemary, and cloves in a saucepan over medium high heat. Bring to a low boil and let everything simmer for 5-10 minutes until the sugar has fully dissolved. Pour through a fine mesh strainer to remove the cloves and rogue rosemary leaves. Transfer to glass jars and store in the fridge for 2 weeks. (I often stick a sprig of rosemary in there so it keeps getting more intense.)

Pour your desired ratios of rosemary syrup, pomegranate juice, and limey bubbly water over an ice ball into a glass. Stir gently, taste and adjust, and enjoy. 

Have you ever had a Hot Buttered Rum? This classic winter cocktail is so overlooked but so easy to make – and delicious!&nbsp;

In a medium-sized bowl, combine the brown sugar, butter and spices until light and fluffy.

Stir well to break down the butter.

Add a splash of orange juice and a sprinkling of orange zest.

Serve hot.

The negroni, when made right, is one of the best aperitifs. The key to this classic Italian cocktail is not to over-dilute it, so a quick stir is more than enough to mix the ingredients together.


Negroni

milliliters/1fl oz gin

orange slices, to garnish (optional)

Perfect for Christmas, New Year&#x27;s Eve, or any holiday party, this champagne pomegranate cocktail balances the sweetness of pomegranate juice with the bitterness of orange liqueur for a refreshing festive cocktail.
