"Definitely Do" Top Three DIY Picks: Christmas Cocktails

It's five o' clock somewhere and this week we've picked our top three Christmas cocktails. Whether your hosting a party or attending one, these cocktails picks will be the table topic of the night leaving a lasting impression with possibly a pinch of jealousy from those who wish they thought to bring them first.


1. Cranberry Margaritas


This one has been pinned over and over on Pinterest and a friend of mine said she was able to taste it first hand. A girl friend of hers brought them over for a get together and said not only did they taste amazing but they looked too pretty to drink. You can find the recipe for these Cranberry Margaritas on the Ezra Pound Cake blog. This is sure to be a crowd pleaser with the awesome extras like the floating cranberries, green salt rim and Christmas ball ornament.







2. Eggnog Martini

Keeping it traditional but with a twist (no pun intended) give the Eggnog Martini from Celebrations a try. This frothy cocktail is served with a gram cracker rim and gives the yummy eggnog we all know a more elegant look.

If your taking it to a dinner party pair it up with some ginger bread cookies or a spice cake.




3. Peppermint Patty 

What is a holiday party without the Peppermint Patty!  Life's Ambrosia gives you the perfect recipe and reminds you how perfect this cocktail is for just hanging out around the fire and Christmas tree.

Garnish this cozy cocktail with green and red sprinkles, a candy cane or crush up peppermints and sprinkle over the whipped cream.

I'm not one for the store bought whipped cream, it's all about the Chantilly Cream for us. Yum,Yum!


And like we always say, get out there and make something beautiful and from the heart with a touch of warm and fuzzy, this week.
