Holiday Signature Drink Ideas
I'm hosting a potluck holiday party for work peeps and I want to provide a signature drink. I'm coming up blank. Half the crew likes just beer and the other half likes liquor.
Re: Holiday Signature Drink Ideas
This.
Wassail is another great holiday drink!
I saw this on the Food Network this week and it looks delish! We're testing it tonight!
Sunny's Family Therapy Cranberry Rosemary Digestif
Prep Time: 10 min
Inactive Prep Time: 30 min
Cook Time: 10 min
Level: Easy
Serves: 6 to 8 servings
Ingredients
For the cranberry syrup:
1/2 cup water
1 cup cranberries
1 cup sugar
3-inch cinnamon stick
2 sprigs rosemary
Pinch salt
1 lemon, zested
For the drinks:
Ice
200 ml bottle whiskey
Directions
Add the water, cranberries, sugar, cinnamon stick, rosemary, salt and lemon zest to a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Lower the heat and simmer until slightly reduced in volume and thickened to a syrup. Remove from the heat and strain through a fine mesh sieve into a bowl. Discard the solids. Refrigerate until cool, about 30 minutes.
To make a drink:
Put a handful of ice in a drink shaker along with 1 1/2 ounces of whiskey and 1 tablespoon of the cranberry syrup. Shake gently a few times and strain into a glass. Repeat for the remaining drinks and serve.
Thanks, plenty of good ideas. Now I just have to pick one.
I'm trying to figure out the verbiage for the signature drink on the evite. I think my brain is fried. This is my first full week of work back since vaca. Any suggestions regarding how to word the signature drink on the evite?
I thought it would have been really minty but it wasn't, it had a sweet taste to it so there was something else in it.
Mmm... eggnog.... I haven't had anything outside of an eggnog latte yet this year. I must remedy this...
My neighborhood bar always serves a fun sangria this time of year, and I got the recipe once. It has apple cider, a mix of red and white wines, apple brandy, soaked apples and oranges, some cinnamon and cranberries for garnish I think. It's pretty good and you could play around with the ingredients all you like.
