Christmas cocktails
Festive spice, cranberry, citrus, and bubbles run through these holiday pours, from a warming Gingerbread Cocktail to a bright Buck's Fizz at brunch.
Start here
Pick a Christmas cocktails build by what the evening needs first. Spice-forward drinks like Gingerbread Cocktail, Mulled Apple Black, and Winter slot in beside roast dinners and after-dark fires. Cranberry and citrus pours such as Rude Cosmopolitan, Holiday Margarita, and The Reindeer sit better with appetizers and lighter pre-dinner moments. Bubbles, including Buck's Fizz and Poinsettia, lead Christmas morning and toast hours. Creamy builds like Christmas Pudding & Custard Cocktail and Christmas Velvet Alexander take dessert's seat. Fruit-led options like Christmas Daiquiri, Jack Frost #2, and Cranberry & Mint Cocktail bridge the gap between appetizers and pudding. Filter by spirit if a host is short on bottles, or scan flavor notes when matching a drink to a specific course. Every recipe has full measures and method on its own page.
