Winter Aperol Spritz
This light and refreshing cocktail from How Sweet Eats is seasonal, batchable, and low-ABV. Basically, it’s perfect for your next holiday party! Don’t skip the garnish—the orange twist and rosemary sprig add subtle aromatics that round out the drink beautifully.
Winter Prosecco Cocktail with Sage, Pear, and Ginger
This fragrant winter cocktail from Avocado Pesto requires only three easy steps: make a simple syrup, strain and chill, then mix with Prosecco. Once you get the hang of this recipe, use it as a base to experiment with other herbs, fruits, and spices!
The Partridge
On the first day of Christmas, my true love gave to me … a partridge gin cocktail! The Partridge from Gray Whale Gin is perfect for the holidays. It’s refreshing with a mixture of citrus fruit and their herbaceous, briny gin. Ginger liqueur, Chandon Blanc de Noirs, and homemade ginger syrup take this drink to the next level with effervescent soda water to top it off.
Gingerbread Sparkler
It’s time to celebrate the sweet things in life. This cocktail from Posh Little Designs is the perfect combination of sweet and spicy, like a gingerbread cookie with a homemade gingerbread simple syrup that can be used to make more than a cocktail.
