The end of the night is never really the end of the night at my family Christmas. After all is said and done, the board games make their way to the recently cleared table and either a hilarious session of Cards Against Humanity ensues, or a heated game of Monopoly. No matter the game of choice, there are always cocktails to take the the competitive edge off.

While I do love a Spiked Egg Nog or Mudslide, after a heavy meal a fresh and fruity Christmas cocktail always hits the spot. This cocktail Christmas cocktail is just what the doctor ordered. A fresh cranberry simply syrup is spiked with Disaronno and then topped up with orange juice and sparkling water. Toss in a few cranberries and a slice of orange and you’re ready for the games to begin!
