Holiday Custom Cocktail Inspiration
How To Have The Happiest Holiday From Home This Season!
This holiday season looks a bit different, but a way to brighten your spirits is with Spirits!
It’s not like we’ll be needing to leave the house, so a bit of custom cocktail inspiration–and responsible drinking–are just what the doctor ordered to spread some cheer at home this year. If you’re like us, we’re looking to take the nostalgia of a perfect Christmas and mix in a little extra fun. Growing up, the holiday desserts were our favorite part of the season. Inspired by these sweet treats, we took a few classics and transformed them into some custom cocktails!
Ordinarily, the festive cocktails we offer our clients are Spring or Summer themed signature drinks that complement their event. We get rave reviews over our Watermelon Cucumber Coolers and now offer “Logo Cocktails.” We take a signature logo for your event, print it on thin sheets of sugar paper, and float these custom cocktail discs as a garnish on the top of your guests’ drinks. It’s an inventive way to think outside the cheesy logo bar napkins while delighting your impressed guests! Imagine each of these holiday drinks with your signature logo on top for the perfect viral social media post. Make your friends Grinch-green with envy over your immaculate custom cocktail presentation this season!
Rudolph’s Nose (Raspberry Hot Cocoa)
A steaming cup of hot chocolate is the epitome of childhood holidays. Take yourself back with this fun spin that is sure to make you glow with happiness! Try substituting hot coffee for the hot chocolate if you’re looking for that extra pick-me-up after a holiday feast.
1 oz. white crème de cacao
8 oz. hot chocolate
whipped cream
1 fresh raspberry
- Pour raspberry liqueur and white crème de cacao in your favorite holiday mug.
- Add hot chocolate (or coffee) and stir.
- Top with a dollop of whipped cream.
- Finish off with a fresh raspberry for Rudolph’s signature look!
Pumpkin Pie Martini
1 oz. pumpkin spice liqueur (such as Hiram Walker)
1/2 oz. Kahlua
1/2 oz. Butterscotch Schnapps
1/2 oz. half-and-half
crushed graham crackers
sprinkle of cinnamon as garnish
- Rim edge of a martini glass in crushed graham crackers (for that “perfect crust” taste). Set aside.
- In an ice-filled shaking-glass, combine all liquids. Shake well.
- Strain mix into the rimmed martini glass.
- Top with a dash of cinnamon for a little extra spice!
Peppermint Bark Shot
If we’re talking about childhood holiday memories, we can’t forget the iconic peppermint candy cane. We got this custom cocktail idea from Tipsy Bartender.com, and we can’t rave about it enough! It’s bright, creamy, and super festive with the crushed peppermint rimmed on the glass. If shots aren’t really your style, sip this minty treat in a tumbler over ice!

Melted chocolate and crush candy canes for garnish
- Rim edge of the glass in melted chocolate and crushed candy canes. Set aside.
- In an ice-filled shaking-glass, combine chocolate vodka, peppermint schnapps, and white chocolate liqueur. Shake well.
- Strain mix into the rimmed shot glass.
All we ask is that you enjoy these drinks responsibly and remember to share the love, not our germs, this holiday season!
