We've done the usual Bourbon & Egg Nog and Hot Buttered Rum (just ok). Anyone have any ideas or recipes?

We do a milk punch with fresh grated nutmeg....sorta christmasy, it gets everyone drunk. I use brandy, vanilla ice cream, milk, vanilla, and then I'll add other things to taste. Sometimes cinnamon or amaretto. Just start with a fifth brandy and add to it until it taste good. You can mix bourbon in or just use bourbon in the place of brandy but the females like the brandy version more. I've also mixed vodka and kahlula in it as well. I joke that when I make it, I just clean out the liquor cabinet.

I've seen old fashioneds infused with cinnamon and some other spices. Pretty solid

List from the local cocktail bar’s Christmas pop up. I have intention of making most of these in the coming weeks.

A carajillo is always a popular after dinner drink at our house.

Consist of layers of Licor 43, Coffee/Espresso, and frothed milk.

Tasty and visually appealing.

Saw this rum punch on The Kitchen the other day. Thought it looked tasty.

Cranberry Margarita
I made a homemade cranberry jam then mixed it with orange juice and lime juice. And tequila.
Did a mixture of salt, sugar, cloves, ginger and cinnamon on the rim of the glasses.

Jam was fresh cranberries, agave nectar and lime juice.

We had a pretty good drink at a bar a few weeks ago.

Fireball whiskey, vodka, white cranberry juice, grenadine, ginger-ale.

We went to this bar last week. Every one of the drinks we tried(4 of us each ordering something different and sampling) were great. The Elfing Around was the consensus pick as the best. On Dasher was second pick.

Absolutely! With the little touch of cinnamon and nutmeg, it has a holiday feel and could take some holiday garnishes.

It's the unofficial drink of the Houston Rodeo.

Rum or Vodka
Apple Cider
Prosecco
Lemonade
Cinnamon sticks
Apple slices
Orange slices
Lemon slices
Ginger slices


I threw this punch together last year and it was pretty tasty. I'm sure it can be modified to something better, but it was definitely a hit that I plan to do again this year.

This the one at Johnny's Gold Brick? I was just looking at this yesterday. Hoping for over the top, cheesy Christmas decor!

Gin & tonic garnish with cranberries and rosemary sprigs.

Super simple and looks festive, like an ornamented Christmas tree.

No lie, that's the same exact menu as a place I went to here in Birmingham. Perhaps they're affiliated? This bar has a different theme several times a year with specialty cocktails for that theme.
