Aside from the delicious foods we have during Christmas celebrations, let’s not forget about drinks! For an adult party, having some cocktails will surely improve the party’s ambiance. 

To help you decide which drinks to prepare and serve, I made this list of Christmas cocktails you can try! From big batches to individual servings, this list comes with the Christmas flavors you will want!

Holly Jolly Christmas Citrus Cocktail

The citrus juice really makes this Christmas cocktail so refreshing! The addition of pomegranate seeds brings the spirit of Christmas, making it a good choice for your next festive drink.

Cranberry Ginger Mimosa

The ginger beer is unmatched, especially when paired with cranberry. I also love how you only need three ingredients for this refreshing and holiday drink!

Cranberry Ginger Mimosa
The Cranberry-Ginger Mimosa is perfect for every winter holiday, from Thanksgiving straight through to Valentine’s Day, and is a breeze to make. Unlike the more familiar Mimosa you would have with brunch, this one doesn’t have any orange juice, instead substituting cranberry juice. Ginger beer adds some spice, some sweetness and more carbonation, and the choice of which brand you go with is entirely up to your taste preferences.
