Entertaining tips to help you sail through the holidays with charm.
Warm up your cocoaAfter a chilly day outside, splash some liqueurs into mugs of hot cocoa. Try some cream de menthe, coffee or chocolate liqueur or flavored vodka to add a kick to cocoa.
Holiday cocktailsFeature the flavors of the holidays, with drinks incorporating gingerbread, peppermint, chocolate or eggnog spirits.
Wines to sip by the fireAfter a big day, your guests will enjoy big red wines to warm their bones and sip with comforting winter fare. Try a cabernet, shiraz, chianti or another hearty red.
Entertaining on a budgetGo for a big bottle of a single spirit, and stock up on sodas and juices to mix a variety of easy drinks. Or look for your favorite wine in value-priced boxes, to serve a crowd with ease.
Classic martinisEntertaining some serious martini drinkers? No pink or green here, just the classic gin- or vodka-based libation, stirred up by the pitcherful.
THEmED DRINkS FOR YOUR FESTIVE GET-TOGETHERSWhether you’re planning a chic cocktail party or just a cozy meeting by the fire, entertain with ease by selecting one of these popular drink themes for your December get-together.

TO HELP YOUTools Host
Hosting a party and want to make sure you can fill every drink request? Be sure to have these bar essentials on hand.
VodkaThis neutral spirit is a key ingredient in many martinis, and goes with a wide range of mixers to make refreshing highball cocktails.
GinThis classic spirit is a must-have for traditional martinis or G&Ts, and its distinctive piney aroma, from juniper berries, seems right for December.
RumA clear or white rum is great mixed with sodas or juices; darker, aged rums can be sipped solo, or stirred into the eggnog.
TequilaThis is the essential ingredient in margaritas; aged tequila can be sipped as a nightcap.
BourbonThis American whiskey, made with corn and mellowed in oak, is perfect for sipping or stirring into the punch bowl.
Brandy/CognacBrandy is made from distilled wine or fruits; cognac is a fine brandy from France. Sip these strong spirits after a holiday dinner.
VermouthMany classic cocktails call for a dash of this fortified wine; you may also sip it as an aperitif before dinner.
Ready-to-Serve CocktailsKeep it simple with these pre-mixed cocktails — all you have to do is pour.
