Our 5 favourite Christmas cocktails
Christmas is of course all about good food, gifts, and cozy gatherings with friends and family. But are we forgetting something? Exactly: the drinks! A festive glass makes every Christmas dinner or gathering truly complete. Whether you're dining extensively with family, organizing a girls' night, or lounging on the couch with the All You Need Is Love Christmas special: with these five drinks, you can make every moment this Christmas something special. And of course, we've also added a non-alcoholic option.
Mimosa
Do you have a Christmas breakfast or lunch planned? Then a classic Mimosa belongs there. This fresh and sparkling drink made from orange juice with champagne or prosecco immediately creates that festive feeling. A nice and good start to your Christmas day, you immediately begin this holiday on a cloud.
Pour a layer of orange juice into a champagne glass, top it off with bubbles, and garnish with a slice of orange. Super easy!
Winter Spritz
Is Aperol Spritz your favorite cocktail? Then you're going to love the Winter Spritz It's also our favorite because it looks so cozy. This festive variant is just as sparkling but has a spicy and wintry twist. The fresh apple cider and bitter Aperol are combined with a hint of lime and a slice of apple. Finish it off with a cinnamon stick and a sprig of thyme: it smells and tastes like winter. Perfect for toasting during a cozy Christmas gathering or as an aperitif at a festive dinner.
Gingerbread Martini
The Gingerbread Martini is the ultimate Christmas cocktail for those who love a bit of spice. Think of the flavor of gingerbread cookies, but in a creamy cocktail with a hint of coffee and cinnamon. Is your mouth watering yet? Mine is.
Serve it in a martini glass with a rim of sugar and cinnamon, then the drink looks as good as it tastes. Exactly what you need on a cold December evening.
Glitter Bubbles
Love glitters and glamour? Then the glitter bubbles are really something for you! Use your favorite prosecco or cava and add a small teaspoon of edible glitter. Stir gently and watch your glass start to sparkle like a Christmas ornament. For a festive touch, you can add a raspberry or a sprig of rosemary.
Tip: Prefer non-alcoholic? Replace the bubbles with sparkling water or non-alcoholic sparkling wine. Just as fun and just as sparkling!
Virgin Espresso Martini
Why end dinner with a regular espresso when it can be more festive? Make your coffee or tea moment something special with this Virgin Espresso Martini.
Shake a fresh espresso with some maple syrup and ice cubes in a shaker and pour this with a splash of tonic into a nice glass. Top it with a few coffee beans and voilà: an elegant and non-alcoholic finish to your dinner!
Tip: Prefer no caffeine? Use decaf espresso, just as tasty.
Say Cheers!
Whether you choose bubbles, martinis, or mocktails: with these Christmas drinks you make every moment a party. So put on your prettiest Christmas outfit, turn on Sky Radio, and pour something delicious... Cheers!
