Cranberry Ginger Cocktail | jellytoastblog.com

We’re in the week between Christmas and New Years and in my mind, the holidays are just hitting their stride. I’m hopeful that your Christmas has been healthier than ours as we have two flu ridden kiddos and temperatures a flying left and right. We’ve gone through so many boxes of tissues our recycling bin is positively overflowing. That being said, I wasn’t really up for brainstorming a new cocktail this week, but I’ve come across some amazing looking drinks during my lazy moments spent on Pinterest and browsing some of my favorite blogs. These 15 cocktails range from festive and elegant to simple and comforting. I’m positive you’ll find a little something for any get together you have in the upcoming week.
