I hope everyone had a very merry Christmas and a happy holiday season! We spent a great couple of days with my family and my in-laws. Lots of delicious food, laughs and thoughtful gift giving. We also had some very yummy cocktails and with New Year’s right around the corner, I thought I’d share some sure-to-please drink recipes with you to help ring in 2015. Go to the links to get the full recipes. We’ve tried a few of them and {twist my arm} plan to try a few more.
Cranberry Kir Royale // A little prep work is needed for this cocktail but it’s a festive alternative to the standard champagne.
Cider Jack Cocktail // I’m a big hard apple cider fan – add cinnamon sticks and it sounds like the perfect winter warm up.
Raspberry Mojito // Could be my favorite signature drink.
Bourbon Punch // A bold citrus concoction with a refreshing touch of mint, this would make the prettiest New Year’s Eve punch bowl.
The Ninth Night // Named for the conclusion of Hanukkah festivities but would also make a great New Year’s Eve drink. A combination of citrus, cranberry, & lemon lime but the drink is clear – add a garnish or colorful straw to make it match your color scheme.
Candy Cane Cooler // What to do with all your candy canes from Christmas? Break them up and make a yummy cocktail and use them as stirrers.
Christmas Coffee Cocktail // It might be called Christmas Coffee but I would drink this treat anytime. And although I’m an iced coffee drinker – add amaretto, butterscotch schnapps and whipped cream to hot coffee and I’m sold.
Red Sangria // I make this all year round and it’s always a big hit. Put in a clear pitcher and let your guests serve themselves. Easy peasy.
What are your signature cocktail drinks? Send along any recipes you may have. I just might have to try them. Enjoy!
I'd love to hear your comments!
