Best Creative Cocktail Recipes to Impress Your Friends

I love creative cocktails. Frou frous drinks that others might classify as "girly" are absolutely my favorite. Christmas and New Years are the perfect time to experiment with cocktail recipes. Whether you are trying a different approach to the classic mojito recipe or something totally new like champagne punch, when you use these Christmas cocktail recipes all your friends will be impressed!

It's easy to keep your bar stocked with some basics like vodka, rum, juice, soda and limes so that you are always ready to whip up one of these popular cocktail recipes.

If you have a favorite holiday cocktail recipe that I missed in this post, be sure to drop a link to it in the comments!

Enjoy the cocktails on this list but please drink responsibly!
