Read More25 Drinks To Make For Christmas 2025
These some of my favorite cocktails and mocktails to quench the thirst this holiday season. They are my go to recipes which are festive, fun and full of cheer – perfect for christmas.
I haven’t been making new drinks lately and that is because there are a few go to recipes that I have which I make on repeat. Yes making new cocktails and mocktails is the goal, experimenting is the best option but sometimes comfort is also perfect. these recipes are some of my favourites from over the years which work wonderfully in dinner parties or to serve a small gathering. Alternatively I also have recipes to serve just one.
There are some important points to note when making drink recipes. We drink with our eyes first so making sure the garnish over all look/appeal of the drink is essential. In saying this, the right glass is also a good way to win over your guests as it sets the tone for the night in my opinion. Don’t get it twisted, all my glasses and mugs are cheap as chips but look elegant and festive. But the most important aspect of the entire ensemble is the drink itself.
Some times they need to be made on the spot for the best texture and pleasure while others can be made ahead and poured out as needed. If certain drinks are meant to be served hot – please make sure they are either by keeping them warm in a bowl over a Bain Marie or microwaving small batches as required. If they are meant to be served cold, always keep ice on hand so you do no dilute the entire mix and only pour the cocktail over ice instead. With spritzers and fizzy drinks, you MUST pour them over just before serving to ensure the fizz doesn’t die away.
That being said it is important to make your drinks fun and enjoy them, don’t over complicate it but also fusion is interesting and definitely keeps everyone wanting more. So without further ado, here are my top 25 drink recipes to make for christmas this year.
If you try these recipes out, don’t forget to share it with me on instagram so I can see how it turned out. I’d love nothing more than to chat with you on your cooking/baking.
