25 Festive & Easy Holiday Cocktails

Tis' the season to be...partying with these easy holiday cocktails! I enjoy having friends over to celebrate the holidays, and I always want to have a festive atmosphere.

Colorful plates, napkins, and a pretty centerpiece make my table look cheerful and inviting.

On my kitchen counter, I like to have all the ingredients for my guest to DIY a few of these easy holiday cocktails. That way I don't have to stop and make a cocktail each time someone needs one.

One year I just had chilled Prosecco and raspberries, and it was a big hit! I also love the first recipe for the Raspberry Peppermint Fizz.

You could use Prosecco for that, too, instead of champagne. Add a little peppermint vodka and some raspberries and you have a cocktail that is sure to be the hit of the party!

I also love the idea of a cranberry mojito. How fun is that? Everyone loves a mojito, and the cranberries make it a perfect holiday party drink. Your guest will love any of these cocktails.

Remember to drink responsibly and decide on a designated driver before the party starts.
