Easy Christmas Cocktail Recipes

Our favourite simple to mix cocktails to try during this festive period.

Welcome to the Festive Season and with it our masterful list on the easiest, simplest Christmas cocktails that you can make at home. Christmas is a great time of year to spend with family and friends, and always includes that extra effort and touch with food and drinks. However the drinks don't need to be taxing, in-fact they can be down right easy to mix and make a great tasting drink.

In this list we've curated out favourite easiest cocktails that don't need any element of refinement or perfect balance. The cocktails that work even if you're a ml or 2 out on the measures,, the punches and pitchers to share, and the generally shake and serve concoctions that anyone can create, from novice through to your masterful mixologist.

We've thrown in some classics as well as some creative new mixes that we've taste tested over the past year; some that you'll already know and love and just sit right at this time of the year, and others that speak out to rich decadence and taste overload. But there's also the refined and simplistic flavour profiles within the list, hopefully there's something here for everyone.

Of course any of these cocktails work throughout the Christmas period, some are more suited to deep conversation in front of an open fire, where as others speak out for the party's and gatherings at this time of the year. Whatever you're up to, whatever you're hoping to mix and shake this Christmas, this Easy Christmas Cocktail Recipe list should have you excited and intrigued to discover more.
