How to Make Easy Christmas Cocktails

Grab yourself a cinnamon stick, some cranberry juice and a few candy canes and you have the ingredients for some great holiday cocktails. In fact, any holiday party will be made more festive by making one of these easy Christmas cocktails.

For the best Christmas cocktails this holiday season, I suggest having on hand some traditional ingredients such as apple cider, red wine, dark rum, orange liqueur, as well as brown sugar, egg yolks, lemon juice and simple syrup.

One of these Christmas drinks is sure to raise your holiday spirits! These are a mix of cold and hot cocktails!

Before you start, it helps to have a few basic tools on hand. A simple jigger, a bar spoon, strainer, and a mixing glass and a shaker will cover most of what you need.
