3 Easy Christmas Cocktail Recipes to Get the Party Started

It is that time of the year when you will have great get-togethers at your abode and probably end up sharing a drink with every single person in the gathering: with an ex-colleague while babbling about your workplaces, with that friend you haven’t met in a long time and even with the person you acquainted on your commute to work.  

 

So, drinks are going to be wayyyy more frequent.

 

And as the wonderful host(ess) that you are, you wouldn’t want the glasses to get even half-empty as the night rolls.  Yet, you wouldn’t want to spend the entire night in making the splendid cocktail – mixing more ingredients than the items listed on the entire menu.

 

This demanding crisis calls for an easy solution. Lightening your burden of being the modern hostess (so you don’t reach the edge of madness), we bring you 3 Christmas Cocktail Recipes, which are simple yet delicious af.
