If you’ve checked out any of our other seasonal cocktails and drinks, you know I love trying new things! I’m always looking for an excuse to mix up something new to share with friends and the holiday season provides so many great opportunities to find my new favorite cocktail!
The Naughty Elf Christmas Cocktail really is the perfect offering for your next holiday party! Whether you’re hosting a simple girl’s night gift exchange or a holiday open house, I promise your guests will adore – and giggle – over the name! You can mix these cocktails up one-by-one or make a big patch ahead of time and place the pitcher next to cocktail glasses with red and green sprinkled rims.
You can get creative with decorations too. We used simple Christmas sprinkles to decorate the edge of the glass (just dip the top of your glass in simple syrup or sugar water and then into your sprinkles). You can change out the color or style of your sprinkles or sugar to match the decor and colors of your party too. Or add mini candy canes to each drink as cocktail stirrers!
