The holidays are a time for celebration, connection, and of course, delicious refreshments. If you’re looking to add some extra sparkle and joy to your holiday party this year, consider these five festive beverage ideas that are sure to impress your guests.
Pomegranate Rosemary Spritzer
For a non-alcoholic option that still feels fancy, try a pomegranate rosemary spritzer. Simply mix pomegranate juice with sparkling water and add a sprig of fresh rosemary for a garnish. The tartness of the pomegranate is balanced by the herbaceous notes of the rosemary, creating a refreshing and sophisticated sipper.
Spiked Hot Chocolate Bar
Take your hot chocolate game to the next level by setting up a spiked hot chocolate bar. Offer a variety of hot chocolate mix-ins like marshmallows, whipped cream, and candy canes, as well as a selection of spirits like peppermint schnapps, Bailey’s, or bourbon. Guests can customize their own boozy cocoa creation and stay warm and cozy all night long.
Cranberry Ginger Punch
This crowd-pleasing punch is easy to make and always a hit. Combine cranberry juice, ginger ale, and a splash of lime juice in a large punch bowl. Add fresh cranberries and sliced limes for a festive garnish. For an adult version, add a bottle of your favorite vodka or gin. The tartness of the cranberries and the spice of the ginger create a perfectly balanced and refreshing drink.
Cannabis-Infused Seltzers
For a unique and trendy twist on the classic party refreshment, consider offering a selection of the best cannabis seltzers. These low-calorie, low-sugar drinks are infused with CBD or THC and come in a variety of flavors like lemon-lime, grapefruit, and berry. They provide a subtle, relaxing buzz without the hangover of traditional alcoholic beverages. Just be sure to clearly label them and keep them separate from non-infused drinks.
Mulled Wine
Nothing says the holidays like the warm, spicy aroma of mulled wine. To make this classic drink, combine red wine with brandy, orange slices, cinnamon sticks, star anise, and honey in a large pot. Simmer on low heat for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Serve in mugs garnished with a cinnamon stick or orange slice for a cozy and festive treat.
Conclusion
Elevate your holiday party this year with these five joyful and delicious refreshments. From non-alcoholic spritzers to boozy hot chocolate to cannabis-infused seltzers, there’s something for everyone on this list. Your guests will appreciate the thoughtfulness and creativity you put into your beverage selection, and you’ll enjoy sipping on these festive drinks all night long. Cheers to a happy and sparkling holiday season!
