ho-ho-holiday cocktails!

The holiday season is here! It's the season for laughing off your diet plans, going to the obligatory Christmas parties, and letting cocktails assist in tolerating family get-togethers. It's a joyous time of year!

We've assembled a bevy of beverages that will warm you up and bring you cheer.

Side note: my drinkware makes for the perfect walking-the-dog vessel for these cocktails ;)

eggnog cocktail

If you love eggnog, we've got the cocktail for you! This is a classic holiday drink with a boozy twist.

• 1 oz Amaretto
• 1 oz vodka
• 2 oz eggnog
• pinch of cinnamon
• caramel sauce

Rim your cocktail glass with caramel sauce. Combine eggnog, Amaretto, and vodka in a shaker with some ice and give it a shake. Strain the mixture into your cocktail glass and garnish with a sprinkle of cinnamon!

cranberry margaritas

This cranberry margarita will ensure that you have a Berry Christmas! Sorry, I've been drinking them. I'll stop. Here are the ingredients:

• 1 ½ cup cranberry juice
• ¾ cup fresh lime juice
• ¾ cup tequila
• ½ cup orange-flavored liqueur 
• ice

Rim your glasses with lime juice and either salt or sugar. Vigorously shake the cranberry juice, lime juice, tequila, and orange-flavored liqueur with ice. Divide between three glasses and serve!

jack frost cocktail

This cocktail, much like revenge, is best served c-c-cold. Let this tropically inspired holiday drink transport you to a warmer place, where your relatives aren't! You need:

• honey
• ice
• 1 cup pineapple juice
• ½ cup blue curacao
• ½ cup light rum 
• ½ cup cream of coconut
• coconut flakes

Dip your glasses into the honey and coat with the coconut flakes. Throw the pineapple juice, blue curacao, rum, and cream of coconut to a blender and hit one of the buttons! Pour into your rimmed glasses and serve!
