It’s finally the time of the year where we all look forward to unwinding after a year’s worth of hard work. Whether you celebrate Christmas or not, it is a great opportunity to take some time off from the hustle-bustle of life. After all, we have earned it! The last two years have been heavy on us all, which is why this year gets to be extra special. Get the gang together and chill the nights away, or host wonderful brunches and dinners at your home! However, none of these events are complete without holiday drinks. If you’re short of ideas, we’ve got four tricks up our sleeves- delicious drinks that everybody needs to try this holiday season. They’re simple to make and taste absolutely delightful; your guests will be left begging for more. Without stalling, let’s get right to our list!

• The Classic Eggnog: This goes even without sayings- a Christmas is incomplete without the good old-fashioned eggnog. While the process may take you some time, given that the egg whites need careful attention, the end result is a blend of warm flavorful ingredients that almost make you forget the alcohol content. With trusty rum or brandy as the base, vanilla and a dash of nutmeg brings out the comforting, woodsy elements. The whipped cream, milk, and eggs give this drink a silky texture that will chase away winter blues and cocoon you into a ball of nostalgia.

If you find the traditional recipe of eggnog boring and want to switch things up a bit, this recipe does not disappoint. The composition consists of an egg, heavy cream, some Paul Bleu vs. Cognac, allspice dram, and a dash of nutmeg to top things off. We guarantee that the glasses will be refilled aplenty! The drink is warm, spiced with a hint of maple syrup for sweetness; in short, this is perfection in a glass!

• Whiskey Old Fashioned: While we’re sticking to the traditions, never forget our friend, the classic whiskey old-fashioned. Whether you’re hanging out with family or hosting a chill friends’ house party, this drink goes well with every holiday setting, especially if you plan to roll some wccannabis. With whiskey to keep you warm and sweet tangy citrus to freshen things up, making the perfect old-fashioned is art. We assure you that your party will be a hit with glasses of this drink lined up.
• The Holiday Special Cocktail: If you’re in the mood to jazz up things a little, this is the perfect drink for you. The base is citrus, so the drink to go with is grapefruit and rose vodka. Topped with a dash of Aperol, lemon juice, and simple syrup, this drink vanishes quickly but hits hard!
