Winter Cocktails We Love
Whether you’re hosting a shower, an engagement party, or your having a Winter wedding - we LOVE including seasonal cocktails in the food & beverage plan. Leaning on seasonal ingredients, here is our top go-to list of Winter cocktails - most of which can easily be turned into a zero proof mocktail. We’ve linked the recipes below!
WINTER COCKTAIL FAVORITES
- Irish Coffee - Perfect to be paired with dessert, or served on its own. You could also turn this into a spiked coffee bar for some extra fun! This is an easy-to-make cocktail, and takes very few ingredients. RECIPE
- Hot toddy - Growing up in Kentucky, this is a tried and true classic Winter cocktail. You could use bourbon or gin, but we use Bourbon… Gin feels more “winter” - it’s been described as tasting like a Christmas tree - RECIPE (for the gin version)
- Spiced Cranberry Margarita - if you want tequila, but need something a little more seasonal than your normal marg, this one is for you! RECIPE
- Sugar Cookie Martini - There’s nothing more holiday-feeling than a sugar cookie… right?! This is an easy sipper for those who want a festive cocktail but may not love a straight up martini. RECEIPE
- Salted Caramel Martini - see above. If you’re looking for a slightly-less-sweet option of the above cocktail, this one might be worth a try. RECIPE
- Ginger Snap Sparkler - instead of vodka, add prosecco. RECIPE
- Sparkling Apple Spice - a little cider, a little gin, and lot of yum. RECIPE
- Candied Cranberry Spritz - cranberries are my go-to winter fruit. They feel festive, they are easy to find and use, and they can be used in a number of ways. RECIPE
