I’m not a big drinker anymore at all but I always enjoy an easy sipping holiday cocktail to make time with the extended family a bit more exciting. What’s y’all’s go to holiday mixed drinks?

Maker's Mark and a dash of Lemonade.

Never tried that but actually sounds pretty good, thanks

IM A jim beam/jack daniels and a splash of coke/sprite kinda feller..

Egg nog

Yeah if I drink i usually just sip jack over ice but felt like being a little festive

try the tropical sprite its pretty tasty

Orange Juice and Fireball is surprisingly good

Southern Comfort brand Vanilla Spice Egg Nog is some good stuff that they only put out at this time of the year. If I choose to imbibe a tad, I'll slip some dark rum in it.

Same for me, except no lemon. May give it a try though.

I keep bourbon and gin and tonics on constant rotation, but around the holidays I like to rotate in with the following

cape cod
Moscow mule
spiced rum and coke
white Russian

Coquito is one of my all time favorites. I think I 1st heard about it on here.

Is that the Puerto Rican stuff that looks like egg nogg? I’ve tried it once and it was fantastic

Old fashioned or a whiskey sour…also can make a 🔥 amaretto sour if I’m feeling like making it.

This or Dr Pepper and fireball.

Try this—-margarita mix and instead of tequila. Add Jameson.

Sprite and crown apple or peach

If it’s good whiskey on the rocks. I can’t do it neat.

Well, since you asked, the B-52 is usaully a big hit here....Just be real careful if you ever do the flaming B-52's... ... ... The B-52 is a popular, eye-catching shot composed of three liqueurs: Baileys Irish cream, Grand Marnier and coffee liqueur. The drink’s origin is not completely clear, but rather than being named for the 1950s-built B-52 bomber, it is believed to have originated during the 1970s by a bartender and fan of the iconic band The B-52s.

Why the B-52 Works
While some shots are shaken with ice and strained, the B-52 is made by adding each element directly to the shot glass. Since there’s no ice, many bartenders choose to keep the ingredients refrigerated, so they—and the drink itself—can be served cold.

The shot’s intricate appearance is belied by its very simple construction, in which the ingredients are layered in the glass in order of most dense to least dense. In this case, the sweet and syrupy coffee liqueur goes on the bottom, followed by the Baileys and then the Grand Marnier, which is the lightest of the three. Pouring the liquids slowly over a bar spoon will help them settle on top of each other to achieve the desired look.

Over the years, bartenders have created many layered B-52-style drinks that riff on the original and either add or replace the primary ingredients. In the B-53, Sambuca replaces the Irish cream, while the B-54 subs amaretto for the orange liqueur. But the most common variation is the Flaming B-52, a risky endeavor in which the top layer of the shot is set on fire. In this variation, drinkers will often top the drink with a dash of overproof rum or another high-proof spirit that easily ignites.

Making a round of perfectly layered B-52 shots is a proven method for livening up parties. It’s hard to resist the sweet combination of coffee liqueur, Irish cream and Grand Marnier. The shot looks good, goes down easily and is usually followed by calls for another round...
