An easy way to jazz up a holiday party – or even a simple gathering of friends – is to offer a festive holiday drink. I’ve started a Pinterest board to collect my favorite recipes — both alcoholic and non-alcoholic — and today I’m sharing my favorites with you!
These are easy to make ahead of time, so you can enjoy spending time with your guests instead of playing bartender!
