There's a few weeks until Christmas, which means it's likely that your social calendar is fairly full of holiday parties. For the next little while every time you turn around you'll be mingling, dancing, and wishing everyone well. It's a lovely time, but it can get exhausting - especially when you have to come up with an assortment of hostess gifts, or if you're trying to organize your owns seasonal soiree amid the chaos. Lucky for you we've got what you need for either situation: a fun list of festive beverages you can serve or bring. These creative cocktails are just the thing to wow an entire party. From thrower to goer, you'll be the bringer of holiday cheers.
1. Cranberry Margarita - This seasonally colorful beverage is so simple to make, five ingredients is all it takes!
2. White Christmas - This one is pretty simple too, just three ingredients. Plus we love the candy cane garnish.
3. Partridge In A Pear Tree - Sweet but not too sweet, and such a cute name!
4. Santa's Lil Helper - Sorbet and champagne, what could be better? These guys are sure to be a hit!
5. Mulled Wine - For your Dickensian Christmases. There's nothing quite as traditional as mulled wine, goose, and ghosts.
6. Kahlua Hot Chocolate - Nothing warms you up quite like a hot chocolate. Make it a little boozy and we're sure you'll be feeling pretty cozy.
7. Two Turtle Doves - Grated white chocolate and coconut cream, this decadent cocktail isn't one to be overlooked.
8. Peppermint Mocha-Tini - Since it's peppermint and chocolate (a winning combination) this beverage is perfect before or after dinner!
Since it's holiday party season we've got to ask: do you have a lot of parties on your plate? Will you be hosting one of your own? Let us know and make sure to tell us which cocktail is your favorite - we're crazy about the Partridge In A Pear Tree!

As you take
the bus to work or grab a coffee from your favorite shop you may start to
notice an increase in the amount of runny noses and hearty coughs you encounter.
Whether it’s the guy you’re standing next to or the person taking your order,
there are a lot of sick people about. Cold season is upon us. The dip in temperature
combined with the beginning of one of the busiest times of the year, the holidays,
seems to get many sick. If you’re an unfortunate member of this bunch, we’ve got
something to help soothe your achy throat. Check out the recipe below, drink
up, and take it easy.
Image via the kitchen
What you'll need:
- One lemon
- Two teaspoons of cayenne pepper
- Boiling water
- One mug
- Juice your lemon
- Remove the seeds and add the juice to your mug
- Stir in your cayenne pepper
- Add your boiling water
- Stir again
Why it works:
The cayenne
pepper is rough, so it will cut up your throat. This allows the high concentrations
of Vitamin C from your lemon to seep into your throat tissue. The hot water
helps to dilute the concoction, and soothes your throat. We know this beverage
doesn’t taste the best, but it will help to speed the recovery of your throat. Although there is no cure to the common cold, we encourage sufferers to drink lots of liquids and get plenty of rest.
Tip: Make sure to wash your hands
regularly and cover your mouth when you cough to help limit the spread of your
illness.
What do you
eat or drink to help yourself feel better when you’re sick? Do you choose a
classic like chicken noodle soup and ginger ale or is there a secret family recipe that you trust? Let us
know below.
