Christmas is a great time to entertain at home as you get to spend wonderful time with your love ones and friends. It’s even better when you start the celebration with a special holiday drink like cocktails. There are a lot of cocktails recipe that you will find on the internet. Cocktails are easy to prepare and very good drink. Besides, no celebration is complete without a cocktail to fuel your Christmas party.

Cocktails are simply mixed drink containing a distilled spirit such as Vodka, Gin, Rum, Brandy or whatever. Cocktails requires mixing one type of alcohol with soft drinks, juices, and other fruits. You can also just mix multiple alcoholic drinks with ice tea, juices or even coffee. By the way, when you only mix one alcohol with a mixer such as fruit juice or soda, it’s called highball. But, when a cocktail contains just a liquer or distilled spirit, it’s called a duo. And when you add any mixer to the recipe, it is now called a trio. Anyway, whatever you ingredients you used to make this type of drink, just remember that cocktail is just a mixed alcoholic drink.

Today, you will find a lot of cocktail recipes for your Christmas celebration. Bear in mind, cocktail comes in wide range of styles, which can confuse non-alcoholic drinker. There are fruity martinis, seasonal drinks and there are even cocktails to cure a hangover. In other words, there is a cocktail drink for every special holiday party and celebration to liven up the occasion. As said earlier, cocktails come in a great variety of styles. There are even traditional warm drinks like eggnog and milkshakes. There is even a mimic version of cocktails recipe for those who are avoiding any alcoholic drinks. The mocktail is also a mixed drink. But, this type of drink does not contain alcohol. Mocktail is called as such because the word “mock” means to mimic or imitate a drink. Mocktail can be served to people who cannot drink any type of alcohol. They are also great for kids since they do not have alcohol or any type of spirit.

I have rounded up a few great cocktails recipe on the internet, from a punch to mulled wine to traditional coffee-based drink so there is something for everyone. These drinks are great to serve your family and friends this Christmas. So, explore the cocktail recipes on this page and have fun making them.
