13 Festive Cocktails To Mix Up This Season


The festive season is the perfect time to break your good habits and indulge a little. After all, New Year’s is coming up and there’s a whole 365 days of 2018 to make up for your dietary indiscretions.

So in the spirit of Christmas and all things fun, we’ve put together a list of drinks to get you sorted for any festive party. From traditional favourites to creative concoctions, there’s one (or many) for every one on your Christmas list.

We also asked our good friends over at BarBae to give us some of their favourite drinks for this holiday season. With a talent for crafting up seriously tasty drinks, BarBae can take your favourite alcoholic bases and turn them into the perfect cocktail for you and your guests.

Old Favourites

Cosmopolitan

As Carrie Bradshaw can attest to, you can’t go wrong with a classic cosmo. For a Christmas twist, try using pomegranate or cranberry juice.

Frose

Perfect for keeping cool in the Christmas heat; frose’s are your easy go-to festive drink because you can prepare them beforehand and leave them in your freezer.

Mojito

Mojito’s are perfect for warmer weather and even more perfect for a summery Southern Hemisphere Christmas. Stick to festive colours with cranberries and sprigs of mint.

Strawberry Daiquiri

Get your blender out and whip up this crowd-pleaser, with or without rum. It’s the perfect time to make use of strawberries, so take them off the Christmas table and throw them into your daiquiri’s.

Pimms Sangria

You can never go wrong with Pimms or Sangria, so throw them together with colourful summer fruit for a summery Christmas cocktail.

Gingerbread and Strawberry Bellini’s

If you don’t have time to become a world-class bartender, try a fuss-free Bellini with little gingerbread men attached with icing. If gingerbread isn’t for you, make your Bellini Christmas-y with strawberries (a Rossini).
