Drink and be merry this season because several refreshing cocktails and mocktails will be served your way!
Christmastime is not complete without a lot of food and of course, dinner parties and holiday lunches will be mush better with some drinks.
Here are 21 of our favourites!:
Christmas Themed Drinkies:
Berry Merry Christmas Martini
You can serve this either martini style or on the rocks like a fizz, cooler, spritzer or whatever else you want to call it. Martini form will obviously be a little stronger since there’s less club soda in it. If you want to put it in a tall glass with ice you can do that too.

Mai Tai Spritz
Like the many maligned Mai Tai recipes floating about in the cocktail ether, the originator of this tiki classic has been muddied, with accounts naming Don the Beachcomber and others fingering his rival, Victor “Trader Vic” Bergeron. Either way, Vic’s version is the one that lingers as the canonical formula.

Strawberry Sangria
Sweet strawberries are the star here, permeating every sip of this enticing sangria. Choose brightly-colored, plump berries that still have their green caps attached. Store in the refrigerator (preferably in a single layer) in a moisture proof container in the refrigerator for 2-3 days.

Iced Green Tea Mojitos
The perfect summer cocktail, a cross between a tall glass of fresh brewed iced green tea and a mojito!! I think this is going to be my signature drink all summer, it’s icy cool, and has the added bonus of antioxidant rich green tea.

Gingerbread Eggnog Cocktail
In just three quick steps you can start serving the best damn Christmas cocktail you and your guests have ever toasted to. After shaking your liquor, eggnog, and ginger-molasses together with ice, rim glasses with cinnamon-sugar, then serve with a dollop of whipped cream.

Nutella Martinis
You have to really like sugar to be able to drink a glass of this stuff. It’s made with Godiva chocolate liqueur, Frangelico, chocolate milk, and of course Nutella.

Bailey’s Coffee Cocktail
Be sure to use an espresso roast in these recipes or the alcohol will overwhelm the coffee flavor. You can easily change the flavors by using one of the flavored Baileys Irish Creams rather than the classic. You should adjust the amounts of sugar and alcohol to your own tastes.
Mocktails and Punches for the Whole Family
Non-Alcoholic Strawberry Punch
Quick and refreshing, this Sparkling Strawberry Punch is festive and can be served at picnics, on holidays, or simply as a pick me up on a hot summer afternoon.

Jingle Juice Punch
Use candy canes as fun garnishes for this orange juice and vodka cocktail. Its red-orange color comes from the addition of maraschino cherry juice.
