With Christmas and New Year around the corner, hosting the perfect holiday party is on everyone’s task list. Nothing sets the festive mood like a well-crafted cocktail. Putting a twist on your favorite holiday drinks can make your gathering even more memorable. Here are five festive cocktails to help you celebrate the season, one drink at a time.
Festive Holiday Cocktails
1. White Mulled Wine
If traditional mulled wine is a bit too heavy for your taste, why not try a lighter, white-wine version? While red wine is the classic base for mulled wine, a medium-sweet white wine paired with light fruits like oranges makes for a delicate, sweeter version. You can enhance the flavor with spices, cranberries, and a touch of honey. It’s a warming, tart cocktail that’s perfect for cozying up by the fire.
2. Christmas Spiced Negroni
The Negroni is a beloved classic, but it gets a festive makeover for Christmas with this spiced version. A mix of rhubarb, ginger liqueur, and a dash of Gin & Campari delivers a drink that’s both vibrant and full of holiday cheer. This Christmas Spiced Negroni brings together traditional flavors with a festive twist, making it a perfect party starter.
3. Christmas Martini
If you're in the mood for a rich and warm cocktail with a Christmas glow, the Christmas Martini is just what you need. Combining raspberry and cocoa liqueur with vodka creates a sweet and indulgent drink that’s perfect for holiday nights. This cocktail has a sophisticated festive feel that’s perfect for Christmas and New Year’s Eve.
4. White Christmas Mojito
Dreaming of a White Christmas? This festive mojito is the perfect way to fulfill that fantasy. The drink features fresh mint, lime, and coconut milk, blended with ice for a cool, wintery vibe. A nod to the classic mojito with a holiday twist, this White Christmas Mojito brings a tropical touch to your winter celebrations.
