9 Gin Cocktails That Were Made For the Festive Season

Forget Champagne and get into the Christmas spirit with this Pomegranate Gin Fizz. Simple enough for even the most amateur home bartender to make, we suggest skipping the ice and adding extra pomegranate.

Technically more suited to Summer than Winter, we can't help but love this Rosemary Grapefruit Sparkler cocktail year-round. The perfect drink to kick off the celebrations, impress your guests with the refreshing gin concoction before you bring you out the pigs in a blanket. Extra points for festive glassware.

Sugar and spice and all things nice is the perfect way to describe this Spiced Pear Gin Cocktail. Finished with a dash of cardamom bitters, it will keep you warm all night.

You can't go wrong with a gin mule, and this Sparkling Grapefruit Gin Mule is no different. Make it for your friend who hates gin and prove them wrong once and for all.

Cloudy apple juice isn't the first thing you think when you think Christmas, but this Lady Sloane cocktail will make you think otherwise. Fresh and fruity, you won't want to drink anything else.

If you're a fan of gingerbread, you're going to love this Ginger Cranberry Martini. While the cocktail is delicious as is, be sure to take the time to make the candied ginger garnish — your taste buds will thank you.

Add a touch of Italy to your festive celebrations with the Sicilian Gin Spritz Cocktail. Complete with gin, Aperol, and Prosecco, it's bursting with flavor, just like everything else that comes out of Italy.
