1. Classic Champagne Cocktail

Nothing says the holidays like a glass of bubbly and this Classic Champagne Cocktail Recipe certainly rings in a festive mood. This simple, yet delicious recipe only calls for three ingredients, but each brings a unique flavor that can’t be matched. The trick to this refreshing cocktail is through the subtle note of citrus paired with the Angostura bitters.   
 

2. Vanilla Espresso Martini 

 3. Old Fashioned

Old Fashioned cocktails have proudly been in existence for centuries and rightfully so, might we add. It’s a traditional cocktail that features whiskey as the base with a subtle yet necessary note of citrus. This classic concoction is perfect for a warm and cozy evening and makes for a picturesque toast at any celebration.   

4. French 75

A French 75 cocktail only has a few ingredients, but each brings a unique flavor profile to the mix that simply cannot be missed. It’s simple to make yet feels like an elegant cocktail perfect for extra special occasions. 

5. Spicy Sweet Holiday Storm 

A blend of sweet cranberry juice, a shot {or two} of vodka, and floral St-Germain elderflower liqueur serves as the base of a Spicy Sweet Holiday Storm Cocktail. Pair that deliciousness with a splash of tangy lemon, a dash of aromatic bitters, a {generous} drizzle of spicy-sweet jalapeño honey, and a pour of ginger beer to top it off.
