These are the best Christmas cocktail recipes you will ever try! There are options for every taste and type of alcohol. Stop just drinking egg nog and try these new recipes.
Hot chocolate is my favorite Christmas drink and sometimes I’ll add a bit of irish cream to it but sometimes it’s nice to switch things up and have a Christmas cocktail.
My husband enjoys playing bartender so he’ll usually whip something up for me. When I see a delicious cocktail recipe online I’ll send it to him to make me and now I have so many Christmas cocktail options to send him.
Many of these cocktail recipes can be made in bulk for parties and some can even be made non-alcoholic to make them family-friendly.
It’s also nice when making Christmas cocktails at home to have the right glasses. You don’t need all of the options but some basic ones are helpful. Wine glasses, champagne flutes, martini glasses, high ball glasses, and old fashioned glasses are some of the options that are nice to have on hand. Consider what kind of drinks you make the most often.
Now I stick these recipes in my Christmas recipe book and they don’t get lost! And then the next year I can look through the recipe book and find which recipes I want to make again.
Now on to the fun part, the cocktail recipes. These are from some of the top bloggers and you are sure to love them.
