Christmas is all about giving and receiving, along with relaxing with loved ones, eating a little too much and then trying to dance it off. No matter how you plan on celebrating this December, the festive season is about more than just dinner and dessert. Cheers to these delicious festive drinks; ones all to be sure to get your guests in the spirit of the festive season!
Before we get to making some cocktails, let’s talk about how you can jazz up the presentation of your christmas cocktails (click on each picture for a cool tip):
More tips:
Add Xmas shaped chocolates. Top your cocktail with whipped cream and get those santa-shaped chocolates right on top. Hey – the same even goes for some soft gingerbread men hanging off the side of the glass.
Red, Green and silver sprinkles. Add them because you can.
Wet the rim and ground it into crushed peppermint, chocolate or gold dust.
Festive straws. These days, party suppliers are getting pretty nifty with their disposable straw designs. Don’t be afraid to double-down.
