Jolly Holiday Cocktails

The best way to spread holiday cheer is mixing drinks instead of beer. 

From candy cane cocktails to gingerbread martinis, we have so many delicious recipes to make your season jolly. Set up your home bar with all the ingredients to keep the festive cocktails shaking all season long by following these easy steps:

1) Add a holiday-flavored spirit (or two) like Peppermint Liqueur, Black Fig Vodka, Rumchata or Brandy.

2) Stock up on festive garnishes like rosemary sprigs, pomegranate seeds, candy canes (crushed they make a tasty candy glass rim), fresh cranberries, star anise, cinnamon sticks and shredded coconut. A well-stocked bar should always have fresh limes and lemons as well!

3) Make sure you have a big pitcher or punch bowl handy if you're serving a crowd, and seasonal glasses can make any cocktail look festive.

4) Download the Maine Spirits App so you can always find a great new cocktail recipe.
