Chris Hannah, the recently anointed Best Bartender in the United States by Tales of the Cocktail, has some tips to make sure that your holiday party is a breeze and some excellent drink recipes to wow your guests.
Buy large ice that won't melt as quickly
If you are looking for a great centerpiece, a large punchbowl filled with an appropriate cocktail and fresh fruit is always a good choice. To step it up a notch, Hannah suggests making one or two colossal ice cubes to keep it chilled. You can use an empty Cool Whip or other such plastic containers to make them.
“One quick way to add your own personalized touch is to have some fun festive glassware for people to enjoy their drinks in,” he says. “You can buy them online atAs for garnishes, Hannah recommended doing all your fruit peels beforehand and kept wrapped in a damp napkin in the fridge alongside your white wines and beers. That way, you can easily access them when needed and save yourself the stress of peeling them during your party.
To make things even easier, here are six cocktails, plus one great mulled wine, recipes Hannah recommends, and some words about each from him. You can pick your three favorites and get ready for some fun. All but one can be pre-batched and will ensure your cocktail offerings are memorable.: It's a classic that always seems to be a hit with almost everyone at a party. If you are pre-batching, mix the first three ingredients and top it off with the champagne.
