Hey, Reader!

Hello, holiday season! Is it just me, or does it seem like the countdown to Christmas moves faster every year?

Even though Christmas decorations have been filling the stores for over a month, I haven't been ready to get into the holiday spirit until after enjoying my turkey dinner. Plus, I like to give fall drinks their time to shine!

Now that December is here I'm officially ready to don my Santa hat and share some of my festive favorites! Whether you're still decking the halls or have already begun the celebrations, these Christmas cocktails are perfect for any occasion this season.

holiday punch

This festive drink was made for a crowd! It's fruity, festive and delicious, loaded to the brim with fresh cranberries, sliced blood oranges and the warming flavor of apple cider.

christmas old-fashioned

​Gingerbread simple syrup infuses the classic bourbon cocktail with a festive twist! Warmth and sweetness create the perfect combination for winter evenings and holiday celebrations alike.

white cranberry mule

Sweet, spiced bubbly and oh-so-festive, the white cranberry mule may become a new holiday favorite. It's easy to make and you can customize it to fit any tastes.

christmas margaritas

Tequila and cranberry juice are the stars of the show in these Christmas margaritas! This twist on a classic margarita takes it from summertime sipper to festive holiday drink. Garnish them with gorgeous sugared cranberries to complete the look.

christmas tree mimosa bar

Wow your guests with a tree that serves up both looks and sips! Ornaments filled with fresh juices are the perfect addition to a glass of your favorite bubbly. Let guests pluck their juice of choice off the tree and pop them into their glass to top with sparkling wine.

Give one of these a try to see which makes you the most merry and brightens your holiday season. ✨

Happy holidays!

Susannah
