Martha Stewart has delicious recipes for great holiday cocktails. Her favorites include a holiday punch and an eggnog martini. The recipes are included in the links. They're easy and delicious.
To keep you warm through long winter nights, I suggest classic Wassail. Wassail is a hot punch made with wine or ale and fragrant fall spices (cloves, cinnamon and ginger). Its perfect to keep you warm inside and out.

How to Make Mulled Wine
Permalink | Report
This is a very interesting alcoholic 'soup' that I prepared for guests last spring.
Full recipe will be added after I get home and can look it up in the cookbook.
Rough Idea as follows:
*Boil water with lemon zest, lime zest, fresh nutmeg, fresh cinnamon.
*Drain - keeping liquid and disposing of any leftover mulch
*Add tapioca cook for fifteen minutes or so
--*In separate container beat egg white with sugar until frothy
*To tapioca mixture add half bottle of dry white wine
*Add ruby port
*Add other amounts of alcohol
*Remove from heat
*Add egg white and egg yolk
I apologize for not offering the full recipe in one post. Testing to see if I can come back in one hour to edit my post and update with exact specifics.
**Edits can be made. I will have full recipe available in 35 minutes.

- Hot milk (or if you want it to be very rich, use bottled eggnog)
- 1 shot Dark Rum
- 1/2 shot brandy
- 1/4 shot Grand Marnier
- 1/4 shot Creme de Cacao
- nutmeg for garnish
Very easy, & so good I can't wait for the first frost of the year!

What's the best, easiest to make mixed-drink recipe for the holidays?
I'm looking for a great drink to whip up for friends at holiday parties. Something that's alcoholic and what you might call a belly warmer, though I'd prefer something that isn't too strong. None of the drinks I've put together so far have hit the spot.

• I'm looking forward to making some Wassail, hopefully it's as delicious and seasonal as it seems.

A delicious drink that sums up the holidays for me is mulled wine. Inexpensive red wine, lemon, oranges, sugar are all heated together with delicious spices like cinnamon and nutmeg. Ladle out drinks everyone will enjoy! Source(s):

As a bartender I would say the easiest to make holiday drike would be hot, spiced apple cider. 3 parts apple cider, 1 part booze ( whiskey, rum, vodka all work equally well) spice to taste with allspice. Heat. Two or three drinks to 300 or more take little preparation time, heat on the stove top or microwave. Yum
