If you’re down to celebrate the holidays to the absolute fullest, you might want to dedicate each day of the festive season to a new cocktail. With Hanukkah beginning on December 12, it’s the ideal opportunity to try eight new cocktails. While you or someone you know is lighting the menorah this year, whip up a different concoction for each candle and get in the holiday spirit.
1. Blueberry Mojito
In the spirit of all things blue, try whipping up a blueberry mojito to make your holiday table look extra festive.
2. Jelly Cocktail
One traditional Hanukkah dessert is called sufganiyot, a deep-fried donut filled with jelly and dusted with powdered sugar. In the spirit of these fried treats, try mixing in some berry preserves or marmalade into your Hanukkah cocktail.
3. Chocolate Old Fashioned
Since chocolate gelt is a huge player at Hanukkah time, or pretty much any kind of chocolate is, try giving a chocolate twist to an Old Fashioned with some chocolate bitters and chocolate liqueur.
4. Smore’s Martini
Just because, everyone should have a s’mores martini at Hanukkah. All the chocolate.
5. Golden Spiced Old Fashioned
Golden cocktails will be a beautiful addition to the dinner table. Try mixing up some spiced rum with angostura bitters, cinnamon sugar and orange peel. A regular Old Fashioned usually has bourbon or rye whiskey, so give the spiced rum version a try for the holidays.
6. Smashed Apple Cocktail
There’s always going to be apple sauce on the Hanukkah dinner table since you need something to dip the latkes in. It’s fitting you should have an apple sauce-esque cocktail on the dinner table. Smash up a few apples with a little lemon or lime juice, ginger, honey, a little cinnamon, ground hazelnut and your booze of choice.
7. Spiked Cinnamon Cider Cocktail
Cinnamon is everywhere from the kugel to the apple sauce, so it seems like a no-brainer to make a spiked-apple cider cocktail with cinnamon-infused whiskey and a cinnamon and sugar-coated rim.
8. Grape Sangria
Grape juice has a storied place at the dinner table during Jewish holidays like Passover and Hanukkah. Use some leftover grape juice to make something like a grape sangria this year.
