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
