Parties are starting now as it is the season and everyone loves a great libations for the holidays. That is why I am bringing to you 35 Festive Cocktails. Do you like a tall cocktail, creamy one, strong sipper, frozen, on the rocks, no ice, berries, spices etc. Well, we have a big selection for you to choose from. Something for every adult.
I love serving a special cocktail for the holidays. It makes people feel welcome when they come into your home. I think they should be thought of and planned just like the rest of the menu. You can make some of these into mocktails too for the kids!

I love me a good holiday cocktail. The fruitier the better for me. My husband likes his drinks stiff.

There are so many good cocktails here, I don’t know where to begin. I have done my fair share of Jager shots, but never thought to mix it with anything, the cranberry sounds good.
Jeanette says
I think I really want that adult milkshake! I think I have all the ingredients in my house too sooooo I’m thinking it’s going to happen tonight LOL. What a great mix I don’t know why I never thought about it before.
