Top Ten Holiday Drinks of 2015!

Top Ten Holiday Drinks of 2015
Holiday Eggnog: This Ecuadorian spin on eggnog blends fresh eggs, condensed milk, and peaches for a yummy, rich, frothy, festive drink! Add some rum to kick up the holiday cheer ;) 



Candy Cane Cocktail: Not only does this drink have a fun, festive name, but it mimics the flavors of a candy cane by using equal parts vanilla rum, white chocolate liqueur, and peppermint schnapps. 


Christmas Sangria: This holiday drink is equal parts pretty, tasty, and festive! It goes with any holiday meal and is the perfect mix of Rosemary, apples, cranberries, and wine ;) 


Naughty Rudolph: This drink can be made with alcohol for the adults and without alcohol for the kiddos! Everyone is familiar with Rudolph so give this drink a try for a…different spin on our beloved reindeer! 


The Grinch Cocktail: This funky green color reminds us all (during the holidays) of the Grinch! Why not bring him into your holiday celebration with a hint of holiday cheer ;) This Grinch will not disappoint! 

All it takes is: 3 ounces of peach schnapps, 3 ounces of Bacardi 151, 12 ounces of orange juice, four ounces of Sprite, and 3 ounces of blue Curacao liqueur.

Holiday Moscow Mule: This drink is easy to make and delicious! It’s important to have a few delicious drink recipes handy during the holidays, and this sweet concoction is perfect for such occasions! 


Gingerbread Martini: Gingerbread cookies are a staple of Christmas. But now that they come in drink form...they’re even harder to resist!

Holiday Party Punch: This drink is a solution for a BIG holiday party crowd! Santa’s punch uses 4 cups of cranberry juice, 1 bottle of sparkling cider, 1 liter of ginger ale, ¼ cup fresh lemon juice (about 2 lemons), 12 ounces of vodka (optional) and one orange sliced (for garnish). Mix all of these ingredients together over ice and serve! Quick and easy to make! 


Wassail: I had never heard of this drink before, but after giving it a shot, it’s definitely worth it. This one is a little harder to make and it takes a little bit longer, but the challenge is worth it! It’s an adaptation on the caroler’s favorite drink! 


Hot Ginger Toddy: This bourbon cocktail will most certainly keep you warm during the holidays.
