If you're looking for a delicious holiday cocktail, look no further. Here are a few ideas.

The classic eggnog cocktail can be made festive by adding amaretto vodka. There is something for everyone in your guest list, regardless of their favorite holiday drink.
Eggnog martini
The eggnog marmalade martini tastes creamy with a hint of almond flavor thanks to the amaretto. This cocktail is a great choice for the holidays, especially when served chilled. You can add cinnamon or nutmeg to make it more festive.
Eggnog Martini makes a wonderful holiday drink and is very easy to prepare. It has only four ingredients including eggnog syrup, caramel syrup, and cinnamon. It is important to note that this cocktail contains no brandy or whisky. Regular vodka can make the drink sweeter.
Peppermint White Russian
The Peppermint White Russian cocktail is perfect for holiday cocktails or refreshing drinks to serve at holiday parties. This refreshing cocktail needs only three ingredients. It tastes great next to a firepit or by the fireplace.
Although the classic White Russian is sweet, you can add some Kahlua coffee liqueur to make it more balanced. Kahlua offers a smooth, rich taste that is great for drinking on its own, or mixed with milk and/or ice. Kahlua's shelf life is long and it can be used to spice-up other drinks.
French 77 cocktail
French 77 is an updated version of the French 75 cocktail. This drink is perfect for holidays. The original recipe contains gin. The liqueur lends floral undertones while the fresh lemon gives it a kick.
Make a French 77 cocktail by simply combining the ingredients and pouring it into a champagne glass. Finish it off with a maraschino Cherry garnish. It's easy to make, and will impress your guests! This cocktail is a favourite for New Year’s Eve celebrations.

A holiday cocktail can be a wonderful way for people to celebrate the season. An eggnogmartini with amarento vodka is one of the best ways to do that. This drink can be made in a matter of minutes and requires only three ingredients. This delicious drink is perfect for celebrating the holidays.
Eggnog martinis are traditionally made with vanilla vodka. But, vegan eggnog is also available. You can make your cocktail even more flavorful by adding cinnamon or freshly ground nutsmeat to it. For a festive touch, you can serve it with vanilla or cinnamon-sugar frosting.
