Merry Holidays and a happy Christmas to you! As we gather around with friends and loved ones to celebrate there will be some parties going on. If you are hosting a party this holiday season you may be looking for some good mixed drink recipes to share with your guests. Here are some favorite classics and maybe some you have not heard of before.
The Dirty Snowball: An easy drink to make with 3 parts cream, 2 parts Irish Liqueur and 1 part peppermint schnapps. Pour ice into an old fashioned glass and then pour in the ingredients. Add the creme last on top of the rest. You can add a fun swizzle stick or candy cane for an added touch. Sometimes you can find straws that look like candy canes which are very festive.
The Candy Cane: This is a knock off but delicious. Take 1 ounce of Cream de Cocoa, 1 ounce of peppermint schnapps and 1 ounce of half and half, half a cup of vanilla ice cream and one quarter cup of ice. Blend these ingredients together in a blender until smooth. Now in a small parfait glass and drizzle grenadine around the glass. Add the blended mixture quickly and top off with whipped creme and a peppermint stick.
Cool Yule Martini: Take three ounces of vodka, a half ounce of dry vermouth and one ounce of peppermint white liqueur. Shake the ingredients together and pour into a chilled martini glass. Top with a garnish of candy cane and a peppermint leaf.
The Old Fashioned Tom and Jerry: A classic rum drink enjoyed by many is a batter made ahead of time and kept in the refrigerator. It\’s great to have on hand for a party or people just stopping by. To make the batter you will need six eggs that you separate and beat separately. In the bowl with the stiff egg whites you add one and three quarter cups of sugar gradually and salt to taste with one teaspoon pure vanilla extract. Then you take one cup of powdered milk and slowly stir it in the mix. The cover and store.
Store covered in your refrigerator until ready to use. To make the drink use the mix and add two teaspoons of the batter in a cup and add about three quarters hot water. Stir until batter is dissolved and then add one ounce of rum. Any kind is fine. You can add a little brandy too if you want. Sprinkle nutmeg on top and the drink is ready to go.
Your holidays can be more festive with some creative drinks. Plan ahead and have the ingredients on hand for last minute get togethers and celebrations. Always drink responsibly and have a wonderful holiday season.
