When entertaining a lot of guests, I’ll often offer a signature drink so that I don’t spend the night at “the bar” mixing cocktails. It’s a great way to kick off the evening, while you’re putting the finishing touches on hors d’oeuvres or dinner.

I love creating winter cocktails! This Amaretto Snowball recipe is a great one, as well as my Merry mint cocktail and a cinnamon toast. You’ve also got to try my mulled wine!

This apple pear Christmas cocktail is really easy to drink, making it a great addition for brunch, lunch or dinner. Since it’s half and half {half juice, half wine} you also don’t have to worry about guests going overboard or those who only drink during the holidays. Consider it a sparkling sangria that will have guests requesting the recipe.
