1. Bailey’s Cinnamon Toast Punch
For this cocktail, combine Bailey’s Pumpkin Spice and Cinnamon Syrup, shake them and top with hot apple cider. Its punch is coated with milky cinnamon, which creates a feeling of drinking a warm Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal milk leftovers with a bit of alcohol. You can garnish it with a slice of orange or some whipped cream.
2. Raspberry Russian
This variation of a classic White Russian creates a Christmas spirit not only with its taste, but also with its look. White and red classic Christmas colors are achieved with heavy cream and raspberry liqueur. Garnish it with frozen into an ice cube raspberry.
3. Christmas Miracle
A booze with such name just can’t be bad. Mix vodka, cranberry juice and squeeze a lemon to achieve a perfectly pink color. Garnish it with a candy cane to increase your Christmas mood.
4. Home Alone
This cocktail, named after a beloved Christmas movie, will make your evening warmer, no matter will you drink it alone or in company. Mix an unfiltered apple cider with rum in proportion 2:1 and add a tablespoon of maple syrup. Garnish it with a cinnamon stick.
5. Jack Frost Winter Cocktail
This turn on piña colada will make you feel yourself surrounded by snow and ice. For this festive cocktail mix 2 parts of pineapple juice, one part of both light rum and Blue Curacao, 1 part of cream of coconut and a tablespoon of sugar. Use a shredded coconut to create a garnish with a feeling of blizzard. Appearance is very important for a cocktail, and you can’t achieve an appropriate appearance without an appropriate glassware.
