Deck the halls: Christmas martini recipes

Diamonds & Pearls created by Charlotte Voisey - Excellent as a Christmas Martini Half the fun of getting into the holiday spirit is bringing out festive decorations and allowing them to spill over into all aspects of the home. Deck the halls and trim the tree! While in the joyful holiday spirit, begin making your list and checking it twice for celebratory martini recipes to fit the mood of the Christmas season. Decide whether your holiday party needs include punch style recipes or girl’s night out themed cocktails such as passion fruit and pomegranate lemon drop martinis. Possibly your guests lean more toward classically themed gin martinis and bourbon cocktails instead. Perhaps an entire Winter Wonderland martini theme of Snowball cocktails presented alongside Diamonds and Pearls martinis and G’ingle Bell mixed drinks will keep every guest satisfied and in the holiday mood throughout an evening of merriment. 
 
The holiday photo drink recipe slide show below features 16 seasonal martinis and cocktails for Christmas parties and festive enjoyment. Twelve more ‘Trimming the Tree’ martinis appropriate for Christmas parties should also be considered for more Gin, Vodka, Bourbon, Scotch, Cachaca and Liqueur options. Holiday in a Glass features a listing of 250 or more drink recipes for the holidays. Hot Brew highlights coffee and espresso recipes. Living Grand & Teenie offers low calorie recipes for anytime of the year.
