6 Days Of Christmas Cocktails+Mocktails
6 Days Of Christmas Cocktails+Mocktails
Christmas time is here! No really---- it is right around the corner! Six days left to wrap gifts, pick-up those last-minute stocking stuffers, bake cookies and if you're like-- you will also try to watch every single Hallmark Movie that you can in between all that. With all the hustle and bustle I'm quick to make a cheery cocktail to lighten things up! I've compiled a list of SIX cocktails and mocktails for your countdown to Christmas. Even if you don't celebrate the holiday season these drinks will be sure to put you in a jolly mood.
Day 6. Not Milani's Coffee
This cocktail needs an introduction solely for the name. Milani is my youngest daughter and for her first Birthday we had a donut themed party, and I wanted a signature adult drink that had a breakfast vibe and coffee was the first thing that came to mind. Don't let this cocktail fool you- smooth flavor with a spiced aftertaste.
What You Need:
Baliey's Irish Creme
Captain Morgan Spiced Rum
Caramel Coffee
Whipped Cream (For an added topping)
Day 5. Nutella Hot Chocolate
My list wouldn't be complete without a hot chocolate recipe. Now, this wouldn't be considered a mocktail but it is a kid-friendly option for the holidays. Toss out the old-fashioned Hot chocolate and mix it up with some Nutella!
What You Need:
Whole Milk
2 Tbsp Of Nutella
1 tbsp of Cocoa
Pinch of salt & mix
Day 4. Caramel Apple Pie Sangria
I can just smell the apple pie baking in the oven-Which is where this inspiration came from for this festive concoction. It is the most recent festive drink that I have made during Thanksgiving and I couldn't pass up sharing the recipe.
What You Need:
Caramel Vodka
Sparkling Apple Cider
sliced green apples
Bottle of Pinot Grigio
Rim the glass with cinnamon
Day 3. CandyCane Crush
This mocktail I simply created for fun --it's a twist on a Shirley temple and something that anyone could enjoy and kid-friendly.
What You Need:
7-Up reg/diet
1-1/2 tbsp. grenadine syrup
Crushed Candy Canes (crushed as much as you can)
Cherries for garnish
Day 2. Pumpkin Spice Sangria
This drink has a special place in my heart because it was the drink I made for Thanksgiving 2018-my first time hosting Thanksgiving dinner for my family. It was a hit among the crowd.
What You Need:
Pumpkin Vodka
Bottle of Moscato
Sprite
Sliced oranges +Gala Apples
Rim the glass with pumpkin spice
Christmas Day. Orange Mimosa
It's not Christmas morning without a mimosa! Up early and opening gifts-I'd say a mimosa is a pretty good idea. Sadly, I didn't come up with this unique mimosa idea but I loved it when I saw it on social media because it was different from your traditional mimosa style. Get the recipe here>> @SassyNSimple.PA
