Whether you go all sparkly-eyed at the idea of holiday wreaths and gingerbread cookies, or prefer to skip the whole business altogether, the Grinch Christmas cocktail is a must-try.
After all, as Dr Suess’ cutest character, Cindy Lou Who, once said to the green (and mean!) Grinch who stole Christmas, “No matter how different a Who may appear, he will always be welcomed with holiday cheer.”
So, here’s our festive Grinch Christmas cocktail recipe to get you in the mood to jingle-bell rock!
Fill a rocks glass with ice, add the melon liqueur and rum, top with the lemon-lime soda, and stir gently to combine
Top with a cherry (if you like) and serve
Now that we’ve got you in the mood to get merry, here are a few other Christmas cocktails you can shake and stir up this festive season:
Eggnog is the unofficial drink of Christmas, and we love turning it into a super tasty Eggnog Martini. Best of all – you can use store-bought eggnog and nobody will be able to tell the difference. It’s a quick, easy and delicious mixed drink that also works a charm as a batch cocktail to serve a crowd.
Okay, so the Grasshopper might not technically be renowned as a festive drink per se, but its creamy green vibe goes perfectly with holiday decorations, don’t you think? Plus, it’s like a classy milkshake for grownups, with just enough kick to make awkward festive banter a little more tolerable…
A festive twist on the classic amber-hued Italian aperitivo, the Christmas Negroni also features Campari and Cinzano Vermouth Rosso as ingredients. The spin comes in the form of gin that has been infused with cinnamon sticks, anise pods, cloves, black peppercorns, and bay leaves. It takes a little patience to do this bit, but man, oh man, is the pay-off legendary!
The velvety Peppermint Martini is a supremely sip-able dessert in a glass that plops the cherry on top of any Christmas menu. Gorgeously indulgent, it’s a little extra, which is exactly why it’s tailor-made for the holidays!
The Grinch Christmas cocktail recipe is quite obviously a Yuletide classic. However, we like to think that it also goes down a treat on other occasions. We like to serve it at:
