In honor of the Christmas holiday this week, we’ve put together a list of some Holiday themed drinks that you can whip out if the party starts to get dull.
Hot Butter Rum
This one is great is great by the fire and a classic cold weather drink. (It also made an appearance in our Fall Cocktails list, so if you didn’t get to it in the past few months, now is the time!)

1 teaspoon of Rum batter
1 ½ oz Rum
Fill with hot water

Candy Cane Shot Drink Recipe
Enjoy the same great peppermint taste that you would get from sucking on a candy cane, without the sticky fingers!
1/2 oz Grenadine
1 /2 oz Creme de Menthe (White)
1/2 oz Peppermint Schnapps
Layer in the glass
Shot Glass
Of course, if you are looking for a cocktail, instead of a shot, there is also the Peppermint Froth, which is a close cousin of the drink and also uses Peppermint Schnapps. This cocktail was featured on 10news and co-written by our very own American Bartenders School director and bartender – Joe Bruno.
Pointsettia
This is a great drink for a holiday party that does not have a lot of steps. Your can make either sweet or dry depending on the type of Champagne or cranberry juice you use.
