‘Twas the night before Christmas and all through the house, the cocktails were stirring deliciously without a doubt. When what to my wondering eyes did appear but four spirited concoctions to bring on the cheer!

Jingle Juice: 1½ ounces vodka, 1½ ounces Chambord, ½ ounce limoncello, ¼ ounce grenadine, 1½ ounces club soda, peppermint stick. Combine vodka, Chambord, limoncello, grenedine and club soda in a cocktail shaker filled with ice. Shake and strain into chilled martini glass. Garnish with a peppermint stick.

Holly Jolly Folly: 4 ounces ginger beer, 4 ounces cranberry juice cocktail, 2 ounces dark rum or vodka, Juice of ½ lime, crushed ice, fresh or frozen cranberries. Combine ginger beer, cranberry juice, rum, and the juice of 1/2 a squeezed lime in a cocktail shaker filled with ice and shake well. Pour into a copper mug filled with crushed ice. Top with cranberries and garnish with a lime wheel.

Twisted Sipster: ¼ ounce peppermint liqueur, ½ ounce chocolate liqueur, ½ ounce vodka, 1 cup hot chocolate, whipped cream, peppermint candy cane for garnish. Add peppermint liqueur, chocolate liqueur, vodka and hot chocolate to a sauce pan. Heat mixture then pour into a mug. Garnish with whipped cream and a peppermint candy cane.

Frost Yourself: 2 ounces unsweetened coconut milk, 2 ounces silver tequila, 1 ½ ounces triple sec, ½ ounce lime juice, ½ cup ice, cranberries and rosemary for garnish. Combine coconut milk, tequila, triple sec, lime juice and ice in a blender. Blend until smooth. Pour into an ice-filled glass. Garnish with cranberries and a sprig of rosemary.
