There's something irresistible about a pretty cocktail, especially pretty holiday cocktails!
If you're hosting a party or entertaining guests during the holiday season, serving a signature drink is always a great idea! Creating just one themed drink makes any occassion feel much more festive. Whether they’re Thanksgiving drinks, Christmas drinks or New Years Eve Cocktails, consider choosing one fun holiday cocktail to add to your rotation!
I'm a big fan of easy cocktails, so none of these ideas take too many ingredients or too much time to make!
Festive Holiday Cocktails To Serve Guests
You really can't go wrong with any of these holiday drinks! Choose one to make this holiday season (or choose more than one!).
1. Mini Holiday Martinis
These holiday cocktails are made in mini form making them the perfect drink to serve with appetizers when you're entertaining! I also love the idea of a mini holiday martini because it's not a huge commitment to make. You can try the festive drink and then move on to your standard glass of wine if you'd like.
2. Cranberry Rosemary Cocktail
This Christmas drink just feels so festive! The cranberry rosemary cocktail is really easy to drink with just enough of a unique spin to feel special. Guests are familiar with a cranberry and vodka drink so it's an easy crowd pleaser!
3. Fall Moscow Mules
Who doesn't love a Moscow Mule? This holiday drink has a fall spin making it great for Thanksgiving parties! It's refreshing and pairs well with sweets so serving it at a pie party would be perfect!
4. Pumpkin Pie Martini
What's more holiday season than pumpkin pie? This pumpkin pie martini can be made in mini for or full size and makes for a great dessert course after a holiday dinner party!
5. Espresso Martini
I know, I know–a espresso martini doesn't jump out as a holiday cocktail. But, here me out! Holiday parties tend to be full of lots of sweet treats and a coffee or espresso martini would be a great compliment to your dessert table.
What To Serve With Your Holiday Cocktails
- If you're making a champagne or vodka based holiday cocktail: Serve chicken, fish, shellfish, caviar, and cheeses. (These cheesy chicken sliders are a great appetizer to serve!)
- If you're making tequila or bourbon based cocktails: Serve something spicy, or hearty like stews and red meats
- If you want to serve a fun dessert, consider this holiday dessert pizza which includes lots of fun and festive Christmas candy
