The holiday season is the perfect time to meet up with friends and reminisce on the past year. The good times will keep on rolling if you are in good spirits and have brought some good spirits with you. There are plenty of alcoholic beverages that make for excellent gifts to show your host or hostess how much you appreciate him or her. You may need to do a little mixing, but the holiday drinks you end up with will totally be worth it.

Santa Shot Cocktail

If you really want to get in the holiday spirit, then you want to create the Santa Shot cocktail at your next gathering. Out of all of the holiday alcoholic drinks, this one definitely looks the most festive. You just need to layer peppermint schnapps, crème de menthe, and grenadine to create an adorable little shot. It has a relatively low alcohol content, so you do not have to feel too bad if you have a few during the party. It is bursting with berry and mint flavors, making this one shot that goes down smooth.

Chocolate Peppermint Stick Cocktail

Chocolates should be easy to come by during the holiday season, and one of the best host/hostess gifts you can provide is a chocolate confection. This is where the Chocolate Peppermint Stick cocktail comes into play. For this recipe, you just need white crème de cacao, peppermint schnapps, cream, grenadine, and candy canes. Christmas should be all about sweetness, so instead of garnishing your drinks with olives, consider adding a candy cane up top. That way, when everyone at the party finishes their drink, they have candy to munch on. 

Very Cherry Christmas Drink Recipe 

If you are a fan of cherries, then you will definitely want to indulge in this next drink. To make it, you will need cherry vodka, chocolate liqueur, Baileys, chocolate syrup, cream, and maraschino cherries. What you get at the end is a drink that tastes like chocolate-covered cherries. You will like it so much that you will not even realize you are drinking alcohol. If you really want to take it to the next level, then you can swap out the maraschino cherries for Woodford Reserve Bourbon cherries or Luxardo cherries.

Candy Cane Martini 

When you know the host or hostess prefers his or her drinks shaken not stirred, you want to opt for the Candy Cane Martini. As the name suggests, it tastes just like a candy cane. To make it, you will need vodka, Chambord, crème de menthe, peppermint oil, simple syrup, and candy canes. It is a strong cocktail, but it has delicious berry flavoring. To make things easier on yourself, you can make a premixed pitcher. That way, you can simply pour it out to all the guests instead of making martinis one-by-one.

Kahlua Hot Chocolate

As the evening comes to a close, you may want to hand out drinks that call to mind warm memories. Kahlua hot chocolate fits the bill perfectly. To make it, you only need hot cocoa and Kahlua. To kick it up a notch, you can also add chocolate shavings and whipped cream. It is positively delectable, and it is excellent for when you know the host or hostess has a real sweet tooth for chocolate.

As always, if you plan on drinking at a holiday party, then you need to make sure not to drive afterward. As long as you are aware of that, you can have a lot of fun with all of these holiday drinks to provide the host or hostess. For all your alcohol needs, get in touch with Zipps Liquors.
