It’s the Christmas season again and with that comes parties and get togethers with the family. One thing that I’ve always had at our get togethers is a nice variety of Christmas cocktails for the adults. A nice home made eggnog is always welcome in our house and everyone seems to love it.
I went ahead and compiled a post with some of the best Christmas cocktails I could find. Give some of these a try at your holiday party this year and you’ll be a big hit! Click any drink name to go straight to the full recipe on the original site. Please imbibe responsibly!
1. The Lit Reindeer
Named for exactly what you think. A good opener when people first arrive. Recipe from Elle Talk.
2. Christmas Cocktail with Coconut Rum
Coconut rum and mint, which sounds more like a beach than a December but works anyway. Recipe from Seasoned Sprinkles.
3. Grinch Punch
Bright green and made in a bowl, so you are not mixing drinks all evening. Recipe from Get Healthy U.
4. Eggnog White Russian
Eggnog and a White Russian together. Rich enough to count as dessert. Recipe from Kitchen Fun With My 3 Sons.
5. Pomegranate Paloma
Tequila with pomegranate and grapefruit. Sharp and red, which suits the season. Recipe from Jennifer Meyering.
6. White Christmas Sangria
A white wine sangria dressed for December. Make a pitcher in the afternoon. Recipe from The Crumby Kitchen.
7. Gingerbread White Russian
The second White Russian on this list, this one leaning gingerbread. Try both and decide. Recipe from The Kitchen Is My Playground.
8. Sugar Cookie Martini
Tastes like a sugar cookie and is considerably stronger than one. Recipe from 3 Yummy Tummies.
9. Caramel Apple Hot Toddy Cocktail
A warm drink for the people who came in from the cold. Recipe from The Cookie Rookie.
10. White Christmas Mojito
A mojito with coconut, so it comes out white. Lighter than most things on this list. Recipe from Good Living Guide.
11. The Mistletoe Kiss
Cranberry and bubbles. Looks the part without much work. Recipe from Smells Like Home.
12. Rudolph’s Tipsy Spritzer
Red, fizzy and easy to scale up for a table full of people. Recipe from Tidy Mom.
13. Christmas Morning Mimosas
For the morning rather than the evening, while the presents are being opened. Recipe from How Sweet Eats.
14. The Grinch Cocktail
The single serve version of the punch further up. Same colour, less bowl. Recipe from The Toasty Kitchen.
15. Cranberry Limoncello Spritzer
Limoncello and cranberry, tart and not too sweet. A nice break from the creamy ones. Recipe from Snappy Gourmet.
16. Christmas Margarita
A margarita in a Christmas jumper. Good for the people who do not want eggnog. Recipe from Weekend Craft.
17. Peppermint Bailey’s Christmas Cocktail
Peppermint and Baileys. Serve it after dinner instead of pudding. Recipe from Whatcha Cooking Good Looking.
18. Eggnog Amaretto Cocktail
Amaretto stirred into eggnog, which is a genuinely good idea. Recipe from Snacks and Sips.
19. A Winter Snowflake
Pale, cold and simple. Three ingredients and it looks like you tried harder. Recipe from Happy Healthy Motivated.
20. Peppermint White Russians
The third White Russian, this one peppermint. Clearly a theme developed. Recipe from Inspired By Charm.
21. Holiday Moscow Mule Cocktail
A mule dressed for the holidays. Serve it in the copper mug if you have one. Recipe from Hot Beauty Health.

This would also be a perfect side dish to serve for St. Patricks Day or Christmas. The green color is so beautiful! But honestly, we serve it whenever we want. Usually once a month for our family dinners. It s always a hit!
