Holiday Cocktail Recipes


One of the best parts of the holidays are holiday cocktails. There are certain flavors that instantly evoke a warmth of the holiday season. Specifically, anything with peppermint, egg nog, or gingerbread. Anything peppermint tends to work the best for me. Thats why I love this drink so much. The Baileys Irish Mistletoe.

INGREDIENTS

- 2 ounces Baileys Irish Cream
- 1/4 ounce peppermint schnapps

DIRECTIONS

- Add Baileys Irish Cream and peppermint schapps.
- Shake with ice and strain into martini glass.
- If you feel like being fancy, you can garnish the bottom of the martini glass with chocolate syrup and add a mint leaf.

I didn't drink this in December of 08, but rather St. Patrick's Day Eve instead. It's simple and would definately go over well at Christmas parties.
I couldn't find many foods to serve with it aside from chocolates and a few cookies that would complement it well.
