Ohhh the Holidays. Filled with cozy fires, tasty food, and bomb drinks.
"Maybe just a half a drink more / Put some records on while I pour," could not be a more perfect lyric from my favorite Christmas song, "Baby It's Cold Outside," to sum up this time of year.
I'll start off with daytime beverages so you don't think I'm some raging alcoholic and proceed to the yummy cocktails that are a must have at your holiday parties.
1. The Classic Hot Chocolate
What is more classic than filling your mug to the brim with warm chocolatey goodness? If you're at all human, you'll be sure to top it with whipped cream and marshmallows.
2. Chai Tea Latte
These are heavenly, I love sipping on one of these while Christmas shopping.
3. Any Starbucks Latte
Man are these beauties festive. We have the Peppermint Mocha, Gingerbread Latte, and Caramel Brulée Latte. These hardly contain coffee, but no one needs to know what you have hidden in your classy red cup.
4. Dunkin' Lattes
If you aren't a Starbucks snob like me, or just live in New England, Dunkin' has some fabulous options as well.
5. Ménage a Mistletoe
For those trying to smooch under the Mistleote; this one is defnitely for you. It contains vodka, tart cranberry jam and lemon juice.
6. Merry Christi
This babe gives you a great excuse to start drinking because it's basically hot chocolate... It contains vodka, hot chocolate mix, and milk.
7. Candy Cane Cocktail
This festive drink consists of vanilla rum, white chocolate liqueur and peppermint schnapps.
8. Chandon Fizz
For your more classy events, you will love holding one of these. It has Grand Marnier, pomegranate juice, Chandon Blanc de Noirs and pomegranate seeds.
9. Cozy PAMA Cider
This contains hot mulled apple cider, PAMA pomegranate liqueur, cinnamon, sugar and an orange spiral if you're feeling fancy.
10. Eggnog
Last but not least: Eggnog. I have yet to try it, but the amount of people that rave about it is concerning.
Happy drinking!
xoxo, Caro
