Peppermintini
Whip together peppermint schnapps, vodka, creme de cacao, and heavy cream in a cocktail shaker filled with ice. Shake vigorously until well-chilled, then strain the heavenly mixture into a chilled martini glass. Garnish with a festive candy cane and enjoy the perfect blend of holiday cheer in every sip!
Eggnog
To create a warm and inviting bourbon-spiked eggnog, begin by mixing your favorite bourbon with a classic eggnog mix in a glass filled with ice. Give it a gentle stir, allowing the rich flavors to blend harmoniously. Finally, dust the top with a pinch of ground nutmeg, kick back, and savor the cozy indulgence of this festive concoction
Mulled Wine
Mulled wine is a delightful way to warm up during the chilly holiday season. Start by simmering a bottle of red wine in a large pot with spices like cinnamon sticks, cloves, and star anise. Add some orange zest and sugar for sweetness, and let the fragrant blend fill your home with the cozy aroma of the holidays.
Hot Buttered Rum
Hot buttered rum is a classic winter warmer that exudes comfort and cheer. Begin by combining a tablespoon of unsalted butter, a teaspoon of brown sugar, and a pinch of cinnamon and nutmeg in a heatproof mug. Pour in a shot of dark rum and fill the mug with hot water. Stir until the butter melts and the ingredients meld together, creating a soothing elixir that’s perfect for sipping by the fireside.
Apple Cider Mimosas
Fill a champagne flute halfway with chilled apple cider and top it off with your favorite sparkling wine or champagne, and watch as the bubbles dance with the sweet, fruity flavors. Sip, savor, and enjoy this drink as a perfect autumnal brunch treat!
