The holiday season is the perfect time to try out new cocktails with friends, family members, and when attending a seasonal party. Here are some ideas for popular holiday drinks.

First let us recommend Gløgg. Ever heard of it? Well, you’ll be glad to know about it now when you wow at your parties! Gløgg is a mulled wine that can be crafted in a variety of ways to match your tastes, but always features herbs and spices for a special flavor. To create it the easy way, pick up a box of red wine and throw in cinnamon, nutmeg, clove, or whatever sounds best to you. Or, for the traditional Norwegian way, from where the drink hails, make it with this linked recipe here: Gløgg Recipe.

Another fun drink that will delight and is not a run-of-the-mill cocktail is the coquito. Hailing from Puerto Rico, this creamy rum mixture simulates a comfy snow day in, warming the insides and helping you enjoy chatting by the fireplace. As a twist on traditional eggnog, expect more coconut and thick cream when drinking this one. With this recipe Coquito Recipe you can find the best way to become known for the most popular holiday drinks at a party. 

Easy and stunning, up next is the winter lemonade, the dunagan, and the flaming boolies pumpkin cocktails! These wintery mixtures are perfect to enjoy with a holiday breakfast, dinner, or party. These diverse drinks are beautiful and delicious to sip on. The clever drinks are detailed here: Dunagan Recipe.

If you’re looking for a classic crowd pleaser, throw together a holiday punch. With a million way to vary yours from others, the possibility for a unique concoction awaits you. Refreshing, delicious, and possibly strong (if that’s the way you choose to go), enjoy it through this season for brunches, parties, dinners, or even a weekday. This could be one of the most popular holiday drinks. Here are a few recipes from our archive to try: Holiday Punch, Citrus Punch,Picon Punch, Slush Punch,Pahranagat Punch , Radcliffs Punch

When thinking of popular holiday drinks, a Christmas-time martini should always be on the list.

Hot chocolate and coffee drinks are the best for snowy days when you have a sweet tooth. But spiked hot chocolate and coffee drinks are even better. To elevate them even more, try your hand at homemade spiked hot chocolate and innovative coffee cocktails. Yes, it’s a tiny bit time consuming than just a simple cup, but it’s worth the effort. It’s a diverse drink that’s able to meld with plenty of different alcohols. So don’t just try it with one spirit, but each time you craft it make it with a different liquor! Let the rich chocolate and coffee coat your tongue before the spike of the spirit follows.
