As we coast into the holiday season, there’s a lot that needs to get done. Gifts must be bought, stockings must be stuffed, and parties must be planned—and what’s a party without a signature cocktail or two? Whether you prefer Christmas cocktails with gin, Christmas vodka cocktails, or Christmas cocktails with whiskey or rum, the seven recipes below will quell your inner Scrooge, and help you enjoy the holidays how they’re meant to be: with a drink in hand.

 

❷ maple cinnamon old fashioned

If you’re in the mood for something darker and richer, our maple cinnamon old fashioned is the perfect drink to sip by the fire on a cold winter night. This Christmas whiskey cocktail uses our old fashioned cocktail syrup to create something that’s equal parts classic and festive.

❸ Vanilla Chai White RUssian

This elevated take on a White Russian is the perfect vodka Christmas cocktail to finish off the night—creamy and decadent, with a hint of warm spice from our Chai Spice Tea Syrup. We created this cocktail with inspiration from Half Baked Harvest; the combination of coffee, cream, and chai make this an excellent nightcap.

❹ blood orange rum punch

Who doesn’t love a punch? And you can rest assured that this one won’t get spiked—because it already is! Taking inspiration from Martha Stewart, this Christmas rum cocktail is meant for a crowd, but can just as easily be enjoyed on your own. The recipe below makes one perfect cocktail, but it can easily be multiplied to serve as many guests as you’d like.

❺ spiced fig manhattan

The Manhattan is a cocktail that exudes class and taste. So, why not enjoy it during the most wonderful time of the year? Our Spiced Fig Manhattan is a Christmas whiskey cocktail that adds a dark complexity to an already rich and luxurious classic cocktail.

❻ Yuletide gin and tonic

The gin and tonic is arguably one of the most influential cocktails of all time, and what’s not to love? Slightly sweet, slightly bitter, and it packs a respectable punch. Our holiday take on the gin and tonic is a simple Christmas cocktail with gin—easy to make and even easier to drink.

❼ the nutcracker

To finish off our list, we have a Christmas vodka cocktail that’s sweet, nutty, and a ton of fun. Taking inspiration from Sweet Phi, It uses hazelnut liqueur and our Almond Orgeat Syrup to create something that’s as much a dessert as it is a drink. The Nutcracker can be enjoyed on its own, as an after-dinner drink, or even as a treat for Santa Claus.
