It's lovely to make your eggnog. From New York City's Riverpark, this 'upgraded' eggnog is even more delicious. Specifically, it uses maple syrup, a high-quality brandy or cognac, and St. Elizabeth Allspice Dram.
Hot Toddy
A traditional winter recipe that many people believe should make a reappearance is the hot toddy. Add sugar, lemon, cloves, and any whiskey of your preference to a cup of water that is already boiling. It is wonderful for capping off a meal or drinking on Christmas morning, but you should consider taking a smaller amount of whiskey in the morning blend to avoid acid reflux.
Hot Caramel Buttered Rum
Drinking this hot caramel-buttered rum drink, more akin to a dessert than a cocktail, is a way to warm up before drifting off to a restful night's sleep. Therefore, prepare a large amount of batter simultaneously because it is not very simple to produce and requires some time in the kitchen.
Jingle Juice
Jingle Juice is another fantastic cocktail that may be served in a punch bowl at a party. It is a delectable mixture of cran-apple juice infused with Prosecco, vodka, and wine. Even a cheap wine is totally good. Moreover, serve each visitor a glass with a sugar rim filled with cranberries to get the most out of the occasion.
Mai tais, known for their acidity and refreshing flavor, are typically consumed on a tropical beach while basking in the sun. Utilizing a holiday-themed version of this recipe, you may bring summertime fun to your Christmas gathering. Thus, this kind of beverage is easy to prepare since only four components are involved: black rum, amaretto, pineapple, and orange juice; then, you will have an excellent drink for Christmas!
The Grinch Cocktail
Relax your inner Grinch with this delicious beverage and let it calm your nerves with a sweet combination of melon, citrus, and cherry notes, as it has a refreshing and light taste. As mentioned, melon liqueur, clear rum, and carbonated lemon-lime soda are the ingredients that make this drink, striking the perfect balance between sweet and sickly. However, there is only one issue to consider. The flavor is so irresistible that it is easy to forget whether you are now on drink number one or six.
Ponche Crema
Dark rum is the source of the buzz this Venezuelan alternative to traditional eggnog provides. It is decadently rich and delicious, and it is where the buzz comes from. Add some cinnamon sticks as a garnish, and sprinkle some on top before serving.
White Russian
During the holiday season, this delectably decadent cocktail is perfect for celebrating, considering that White Russians are a straightforward mixture consisting of only three components: vodka, Kahlúa, heavy cream, and nothing else. For an additional festive touch, replace the heavy cream with eggnog and garnish with cinnamon and nutmeg.
Minty Moscow Mule Punch
Vodka, ginger beer, and a simple syrup made with ginger and mint that you make yourself are sure to be a favorite with members of your family and friends. Thus, you can also pre-batch these mules into mugs so your visitors can assist themselves.
