The holidays are all about celebratory moments, so we paired up with Simply Organic to find recipes you'll want to share with friends (and make again and again).
A list, in no particular order, of what we like from a winter cocktail: spiced, citrusy, maybe creamy, and if not warm, then warming. No, not all together of course, but some combination of these attributes. And when you're looking for a drink to make for your holiday party (the one everyone looks forward to all season), you'll want to serve something your guests will like too.
Whether it's busy swirling in a punch bowl, straight up in a coupe, or just hanging out over a little ice, your signature drink should be something you'll proudly present to your friends (who will fawn over it), and have everyone merrier in the process. So here are 12 cocktails that will keep you in good company this holiday season (and probably other times of the year, too):
ounces ale of your choice (my new favorite is pumpkin ale)
2
tablespoons unsalted butter, browned
3
tablespoons dark brown sugar
1/4
teaspoon ginger
1/4
teaspoon cinnamon
1/4
teaspoon nutmeg
Splash brandy (about 1 tablespoon) per glass
1
Cinnamon stick for garnish
