As the holiday season continues to unfold, there’s no better time to enjoy the variety of festive beverages that come along with it. From warm spices to sparkling citrus, the selection of libations is varied and vibrant enough to suit a variety of personal palates.
Whether you’re dining out or gathering at home with friends and loved ones, here are a few drinks to put on your list of possibilities:
Brilliant Bubbly – In keeping with the effervescent feel of the holidays, sparkling wines often take center stage. Whether you’re toasting accomplishments, ringing in the New Year, or simply reveling in the festive spirit, bubbles add an unmistakable element of elegance. Consider a Spanish cava or classic French Champagne. A bubbly rosé is also a lovely choice, not only for its food pairing versatility but also for its beautiful color that matches the season’s cheer.
Want to bring the bubbles to brunch? Set up a self-serve mimosa bar with fresh juices like orange, mango, pomegranate, and pineapple alongside a semi-dry sparkling wine or Italian Prosecco, which pairs nicely with the sweetness of the juices.
A Wine to Mull Over – Prefer a classic winter warm-up? Mulled wine may be just your speed. Red wine simmered with aromatic spices like cinnamon, cloves, and orange zest creates a cozy blend that chases away chills and fills the air with a delightful fragrance. Serve it in a heatproof glass or mug and garnish with a fresh orange slice or cinnamon stick.
A Taste of Tradition – Eggnog is the consummate Christmas favorite, offering a blend of eggs, milk, sugar, and a hint of nutmeg for a velvety, comforting treat. Enjoy it on its own or spiked with rum or bourbon to add a festive touch.
Cheers to Holiday Beer – Craft breweries embrace the holiday spirit by creating limited-edition brews that capture the season’s flavors. Holiday beers may feature:
