This year it’s cranberry shrub with gin. We did it for Thanksgiving and it was a huge hit, so we’re having it again for Christmas. Delicious!

Prosecco, cranberry and triple sec!

Can one of you fans of this give ratios/directions? This sounds awesome, thank you!

Some version of this - https://www.thespeckledpalate.com/the-cocktail-chronicles-blizzard/

Cranberry, bourbon, lemon + simple syrup

I’ve also made Christmas sangria with some red wine, cranberry juice, and blackberry liqueur but sangria is a little more fussy to prepare

+1 on the Prosecco, cranberry juice, and triple sec! I made it for guests at our neighborhood Christmas party the other night and it was enjoyed by all! Plus it’s not a super alcohol-heavy drink, so you can have a few and not feel awful the next day.

My friend brought this recently and we all loved it.

But add contreau or orange liquor and agave sweetener and triple sec

I just made an egg nog martini:

Pour out 4 cups of egg nog from a half-gallon jug. Set aside in a new container and put back in fridge.

To the jug, add 1 cup of Khalua, 2 cups of vanilla vodka and 1 cup of espresso ( I made instant espresso)

Shake with ice and strain into a martini glass.

🍸 🎅 😬

You're my twin. I make champagne cocktails (prosecco, sugar cube, 3 drops Angostura bitters, a dash of Remy Martin, orange peel) and then add something that is thematically correct for whatever holiday. This works for any holiday. Just add cranberry and rosemary. Or whatever.

Smitten Kitchen's Fairytale of New York if I make it myself
Coquito if I got to my cousin's house

Moscow Mule, with an ounce or two of cranberry juice.

Not a cocktail but I love mulled wine. Can leave it simmering on the stove and it smells amazing, ladle out when needed.

Great ideas! Thank you!

My go-to for Thanksgiving and Christmas is a simple prosecco and pomegranate (or cranberry) juice spritzer, garnished with a rosemary sprig and orange twist.

What is your favorite Christmas-y cocktail that is relatively easy to prepare? Would like to have a fun option to offer guests as they arrive for Christmas dinner.

Thanks!
