Cocktails quite literally put the spirit(s) into the holiday season. (Get it???)

And since we love all-things entertaining, we always prioritize learning a new signature cocktail each year.

Here are a few of our favorite fresh and festive ideas for holiday inspired cocktails and mocktails.

Under-the-Mistletoe Punch

Vermouth. Sherry. Cinnamon sticks. Consider this cocktail on the naughty list. You can easily make it in a big batch for a party, scale it down in half for a girls’ night, or even just make festive drinks for two.

Virgin Gingerbread Hot Chocolate

Need we say more? We’re already salivating thinking about sipping on this cozy cocktail. With ingredients like ginger, cinnamon, and allspice, you get that instant gingerbread flavor which takes the hot chocolate to a whole new state of bliss. Use Dutch-process cocoa powder to balance the spices, and add chopped milk chocolate to serve.

Cranberry Mimosas

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas with these festive cranberry mimosas. Incredibly easy to make and serve, these mimosas are an elevated take on a classic crowd-pleaser. Pro tip: Don’t sleep on the rosemary sprig; it really does take this drink to the next level.

Updated Eggnog

Eggnog is basically a holiday essential. But there are only so many cream calories we can indulge in without adding a little something extra. Elevate this classic cocktail by making your own eggnog, and of course, adding a tasteful amount of booze.
