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.

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.

Thanks, I'm intrigued by Wassail. Do you have any ale recommendations?

I like apple cider. You just pour a gallon of apple cider into a pot and add whole cinnamon sticks. Leave it on to simmer for about an hour, and pour into a mug with some good whiskey. Delicious and simple.

This is my simplified version of the classic Tom & Jerry:
- 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!

Norwegian Soup

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.

I cannot edit now for some reason.

Norwegian Wine Soup

3 cups water
3-inch cinnamon stick
1/2 tablespoon each grated lemon and lime peel
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
4 tablespoons quick-cooking tapioca
3 egg yolks
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup medium Sherry
1.5 cups Chablis or other dry white wine
dash of salt

In a saucepan boil together water, cinnamon, zest, and nutmeg for 5m
strain, leaving the liquid
add tapioca, simmer until tapioca is clear - approx 20m

beat yolks and sugar until foamy
remove soup from heat gradually add hot mixture to eggs
stir in wines

makes 6-8 servings

when I made it, I added more wine that was called for. did not degrade the recipe.

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

Pomegranate martinis are very classy and perfect for the holidays. Simply buy a Pomegranate mixer and mix with your favorite vodka. After you pour it into the glass, add a few Pomegranate seeds. The drink is pretty and tasty!

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!
