Nothing gets me into the holiday spirit more than a cozy warm beverage — and a little booze never hurt either.
These cocktails are the perfect addition to your next holiday party. You can make them hours before your guests arrive, then focus on the rest of your prep. Best of all? They stay warm throughout the party, no hovering over a hot stove needed. You’ll have more time for mingling under the mistletoe — after all, it’s not a Christmas party without a little canoodling.
