Holiday Cocktails
This recipe by the amazing Jerri Banks of Fressen, a restaurant that I used to frequent in New York in the 90's, has been my go-to every holiday season. The Ginger Vodka is AMAZING!
Made with Whitley Neill Blood Orange Gin, this cocktail will bring back loads of memories for my English readers - where the Terry Orange is a classic at this time of year!
The most gorgeous purple colored Sidecar you find. A classic cocktail made even more glamorous with Esprit de Figues!
Even though bananas come from Colombia, there is something cosy about an Old-Fashioned made with rum.
A cocktail recipe for 10 people called Wassail has to be festive - it's in the name. Made with Four Pillars Bloody Shiraz Gin, it's a perfect holiday confection!
Toffee Apple Cider - need I say any more??
It may sound weird, but the Classic Snowball takes the creamy Advocaat liqueur and mixes it with lemonade! You have to taste it to believe it.
Metaxa may be from summery Greece, but that doesn't mean that they can't make a wonderful winter cocktail.
It may not look like a Candy Cane, but this cocktail is thoroughly festive!
One of my favorites from Mindi and Daryl, the 2foodtrippers, this boozy Bourbon Eggnog recipe is both decadently delicious and ridiculously easy to make for just two people. In other words, it’s an ideal cocktail recipe if you want to celebrate the holiday season at home with somebody special.
Looking for the ingredients in these recipes might be tricky, so check out my guide to all these lovely spirits.
