This one, the Cranberry Orange Christmas Cocktail, is a bit of a show stopper to look at, and a seriously easy sipper! If you’re looking for something with a bit of a stronger punch, you might like the Marmalade Martini, but this one is a refreshing, light cocktail…

A festive spritz, what more could anyone need to kick off the celebrations at Christmas?

This cocktail is fairly light to drink considering the volume of alcohol, and so a great, refreshing drink to get any party started.

Ok, woah - Crème Brûlée lovers, this one’s for you!

This dessert cocktail is pretty flipping special, and I had the perfect ingredient chilling in the fridge – advocaat!

I know I know, you hear advocaat and you immediately think we’ve travelled back several decades in time, but I think advocaat is a seriously underrated superstar.

The Mudslide is a classic, creamy crowd-pleaser that you really can’t go wrong with, and technically speaking it isn’t a Christmas cocktail, but I associate it with Christmas because it’s the one time of the year when we all give ourselves a total hall pass on calorie counting, and this is a cocktail that you do not want to count the calories on!

This cocktail would make a great welcome drink for a festive event or wedding, or a refreshing mid-afternoon pick-me-up on Christmas day, to reinvigorate everyone after the post-lunch snooze.

This cocktail is also extremely easy to make, so perfect for when you’re entertaining and want something quick and simple.

A delicious festive cocktail for all to enjoy. When we originally heard about the simnel sour cocktail, I had to try it out immediately. That was at Easter, and I absolutely LOVED it, so I have been eagerly awaiting the opportunity to shake up a few more of these again, and now that Christmas is here, that time was this weekend!

Look no further chocolate lovers, you are going to LOVE this one. This cocktail was a 10/10 with all 4 of our taste testers, and although at this moment it’s only 11am, writing this article and reliving this cocktail is making me want to go and make one, right now…
