I’ve never been a fan of a full bar for a party. I understand people enjoy their mixed drinks but I’m not about to play bartender all night or have a crazy guest taking shots of Patron for the duration of the party. Instead, I like to offer beer and wine and have just one signature cocktail.
It can be fun and colorful, or go with your theme, or have a silly name like the Where We Are Blog-a-rita! At our fall wedding we had an apple cider martini as a nod to our getting engaged in an apple orchard. And at our housewarming, my cousin Maria will be whipping up her famous Apple Pie in a Glass.
Here are some fabulous holiday themed cocktails for your upcoming parties… cheers!
- Rom Pa Pom Pom mixes POM Wonderful 100% Pomegranate Juice with lime juice, seltzer water, honey, and cranberry vodka for a refreshing blend.
- A Partridge in a Pear Tree blends pear liqueur with Champagne. So tasty you’ll want to sip it for all twelve days of Christmas!
- Frost Bite will warm you up with 1 part tequila, 1 part cream, and 1 part creme de cacoa.
- Too many Reindeer ‘Ritas and your nose would turn red too! This one is a blend of tequila, lime juice, pineapple juice, blueberry juice, and ice.
- The Food Network’s Sandra Lee makes this Creamy Candy Cane Cocktail with vanilla rum, white chocolate liqueur, peppermint schnapps, and a candy cane garnish of course!
