Hot buttered rum is the best way to warm up this winter.

Hot Buttered Rum

tbsp. butter, softened

brown sugar

vanilla ice cream, softened

cinnamon

c. apple cider

c. rum

I did it with dark rum, and it was excellent. I used 50% more batter than shown.

Comforting and delicious.  Especially when something sets my allergies and asthma off

Question: how is this with Spiced Rum? Best recipe I’ve seen!

It's like boozy Butterbeer, only—dare we say it?—better.

There's A Trick To Making Unbelievably Addictive Hot Buttered Rum

An Old-Fashioned Whiskey Cocktail is a simple mixture of whiskey, sugar, bitters and a citrus peel. It is a sublimely simple and delicious preparation for a wide range of spirits besides just whiskey—rum, tequila, brandy—and a fine apple brandy is no exception. Showcasing the earthy flavor of fermented apples with just a bit of sugar and bitters is a perfect preparation to enjoy classic holiday flavors in a new way.

Apple Brandy Old-Fashioned Recipe

oz simple syrup OR 1 sugar cube

Angostura bitters

oz apple brandy (such as Clear Creek)

lemon twist

If using sugar, place the sugar cube in the bottom of the glass and add the 2 dashes of bitters. Muddle well to blend the sugar and bitters, then add a few drops of water and stir to dissolve the sugar.

If using simple syrup, add the syrup and bitters to the glass.

Place a large chunk of ice into the glass filled with sugar and bitters and add the apple brandy. Stir well to incorporate the sugar and brandy.

Twist the lemon peel over the top, drop it into the glass and serve.

This Instant Pot Apple Cider recipe is the best drink for fall, and the holiday season, to keep you warm! It&#x27;s made in the pressure cooker with orange, lemon, apples, cranberries, cinnamon and cloves. 

Instant Pot Apple Cider

apples

orange

lemon

whole cloves

star anise (leave out if you prefer or can't find it)

water fruit

Place the quartered apples, orange, lemon and cranberries into the inner pot of your Instant Pot Pressure Cooker. Add cinnamon sticks, whole cloves and star anise (if using) and pour enough water to cover the fruit.

Place the lid on and cook on high pressure for 15 minutes. Allow to naturally release on its own or you can do a quick release after 10 minutes.

Mash the fruit with a potato masher to release the juices.

Carefully strain the solids from the liquids using a fine mesh sieve. Discard solids and store cider in an airtight container for up to 1 week or freeze for later use.

Looking for holiday mimosas? These Christmas Mimosas have green apple, cranberries, and grape juice for the perfect punch from Delish.com are the best.

Christmosas

Granny Smith apples, chopped

c. green grapes,

pomegranate seeds

c. sparkling grape juice

(750-ml.) bottle Champagne, Prosecco,

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!

Christmosas are the Most Magical Concoction for Christmas Morning!

White Christmas Margaritas from Delish.com will definitely add some holiday cheer. 

White Christmas Margaritas

coconut milk

silver tequila

c. lime juice

c. ice

Sanding sugar, for rimming glass

Lime slices,

Cranberries,

We made these.  We drink Margaritas all the time ... many flavors...by the pool all summer.  These are EXCELLENT!  I am not sure who below had an issue with them but they taste a lot like a pina colada.  We are making these again at Christmas.  One thing we did do ... we bought Silk Coconut Milk (in the fridge section) to replace the can coconut milk.  Additionally we put splenda in to our taste.  To top it off we used Wilton Sanding Sugar (the same stuff you sprinkle on cupackes and cookies in every cake section in any grocery store across the USA) around the rim. One note, use the Silver Tequilla (as the receipe says) as regular golden tequila would obviously give this drink a funky taste.  You want white snow not yellow. :-) .

I love this Christmas margarita. It's different and it's really good I love coconut however you can't taste the coconut milk just so you know. You can always adjust add more I guess if you would like to have more coconut taste I really enjoy it it's refreshing it was a great hit at my Christmas party. Course I like to add a little extra tequila in mine :-)

Loved this drink! They are not overly sweet, which I love, and are just creamy enough. Reminded me of a skinny margarita.

i agree with GreenSword it dose taste good with rum!

Way too strong! We ended up diluting by taking out half and then totally changed it up by adding a can of pineapple tidbits with the juice. Made it tropical (but no longer had a margarita taste)!

I made this the other night following the directions...I liked them enough.
I would say to add half a can of the coconut milk instead of a whole can to cut down on the "foaminess". The mixture does separate, but I just re-blend.
Overall, I thought it was a neat drink, it's something different, and esthetically pleasing for the holiday.

This recipe is awful! It was just a big glass of slushy tequila. Not enough ice, not enough sweet...I mean the whole thing was really a mess and ended up being a huge waste of tequila. We spent a lot of time trying to doctor it up so as not to waste the tequila, but threw in the towel after we each chugged a glass.

These were horrible.  They tasted awful, the liquids separated, and they were expensive to make.  Don't waste your time or your money.

Followed the recipe and these are AWFUL! Complete waste of tequila!

It's honestly a little embarrassing that this recipe is still up with all the bad reviews. I, like many others, didn't scroll far enough to see all the bad ones and gave it a try and wasted so many ingredients and half a bottle of tequila. Terrible! We tried to fix it by adding this and that, and I never waste alcohol, so we did end up drinking it, but never again. And ya, the coconut milk separates, so keep something around to stir it every now and then, hahah.

Is this a joke? This was the worst drink ever. What a waste of my ingredients. I should’ve read the reviews first.

This is terrible. There must be something wrong with the recipe. Someone below mentions using cream of coconut instead of coconut milk. We couldn’t try this suggestion because we used most of the tequila. Please correct this recipe or remove it.

This is horrible. Tastes like spoiled milk.

OMG this was so good i cant wait to make this agin'

White Christmas Margaritas Have Us SO Excited For The Holidays

Jingle Juice from Delish.com is the perfect punch to start off the holidays with. 

Jingle Juice

c. Cran-Apple Juice

red Moscato

Prosecco

mint leaves

c. sugar,

limes, sliced into rounds

Made this for a holiday party and it was a hit. However, I used the whole bottle of cranapple as the 4 cups it called for tasted a bit too bitter. I used a mason jar drink dispenser instead of a punch bowl but the fruit floating around still looked neat!

also be careful, even with my adjustment it sneaks up on you!

This was a huge hit at our family Christmas party this year and so easy to make plus it looks pretty and festive!

I made this 2 years ago and it is STILL a requested favorite!

Made this for our party & it was a hit! I added orange slices with the cranberries.  I was unsuccessful in locating mint, but it was thoroughly enjoyed!

We make it every year and I do believe if I didn’t make it no one would come!

candy canes,

Really easy but it doesn’t layer like the pic. The condensed milk is too heavy and mixes a little with the gelatin. Probably need to have it 30 mins in between pouring the layers, not 20.
