Looking to Spice Up Your Drink? Try One of These Ginger-Filled Cocktails

Half-Baked Harvest

While the kiddos might be looking forward to what gifts they'll be receiving, parents are most likely wondering what cocktails they'll be serving (and drinking) during the holidays.

But even though there are traditional drinks like eggnog and hot toddies, every once in a while you might want to spice things up, and what better way to do so than with a little bit of ginger? A staple in many kitchens, ginger is easy to incorporate in a lot of classic drinks like martinis and margaritas due to the different varieties ginger comes in, such as ginger beer.

Heard enough? Then check out some of our favorite ginger-inspired cocktails and get ready to whip out the mixers. Who said mixing things up had to be hard?!
