Festive BACARDI Drinks For Your Holiday Party

Ahhh. The holiday season is upon us and many of you are gearing up for family gatherings, office parties, and random drunken nights that have you wondering if buying your lady that Mrs. Claus nightie was a good idea. Every one of these occasions gives us the perfect reasons to consume just a little too much delicious holiday flavored cocktails. As my annual holiday party approached, I struggled to come up with a new way to excite my friends. Apparently naughty ginger bread cookies becomes inappropriate at my age. Luckily however, I have found another way to keep all of my guests in a cheerful, holiday spirit. How? With alcohol of course.

Bacardi Rum put together a list of holiday flavored drink concoctions that are sweet enough for the women, but also contain enough of the confidence boosting chemicals that men desire. This bods well for hitting on the office secretary, or accepting the challenge from your cousins who think they can beat you at scategories (which will in no doubt turn into the offensive version). Here is a list of some of my favorite from the list:

BACARDI Select Egg Nog:

You know the saying, “everything tastes better with alcohol.” This is proof. Personally, I am not a big fan of egg nog, but after trying this drink I truly became a convert. Don’t let past bad experiences discourage you from trying this quality mix strong and sweet. To make just mix:

3 Parts BACARDI SELECT rum

5 Parts half & half

1/2 Part sugar

1/2 Part vanilla extract

Shake all the ingredients with crushed ice and then strain into a mug. Sprinkle nutmeg on top for some added flavor. (Note: There is a video on the website showing how to make this drink if you get stuck)

BACARDI Party Punch:

I know, I know, it’s not a “traditional” holiday drink. But remember all the good times you had on spring break when the rum punch was free flowing. Yeah you do. Now be a man and give the ladies what they want; a drink that only has a a hint of that liquor taste, yet is strong enough to make them lose all inhibitions. To make mix in a large bowl:

1 750 ml bottle BACARDI GOLD Rum

1 Liter Cranberry Juice

2 Liters Ginger Ale (chilled)

8 oz Orange Juice

1 oz Lime Juice

1.5 oz Lemon Juice

Just mix and chill in a large enough bowl. Makes 16 cups.

BACARDI RAZZ Mojito Cocktail:

This mix puts a nice holiday feel on this Caribbean staple. Not only do these taste great, they will warm you up in a minute after you decided to make nude snow angles with your bro. To make just mix:

1.5 oz BACARDI RAZZ

12 Fresh spearmint leaves

1/2 lime, sliced

2 Tbsp Simple Syrup (Or 4 Tbsp of Sugar)

Just crush the mint leaves along with the lime in a tall glass, then mix in all other ingredients and top off with club soda.

So there you have it, a few great ways to amp up your holiday party this year. Hope you all try at least one of these and let us know how they came out, or if they led to any hilarious holiday shenanigans. Be well and happy holidays to all.
