Recipe: Christmas Sunrise

Ideal for Christmas brunch or lunch, this tropical, bubbly drink not only looks pretty, but tastes delicious. To get the layered "sunrise" look, slowly pour the tangerine juice over the back of a spoon into each glass; it keeps the juice from mixing with the cranberry syrup mixture.

For a nonalcoholic twist, leave out the vodka and swap in sparkling water for the Prosecco.

Recipe: Mulled Cranberry Sipper

Serve it chilled or warm, depending on your mood (and the temperature outside). Christmas spices and cranberry juice belong together like Dasher and Dancer.

Those chocolate-raspberry holiday truffles you love so much? Meet the punch version. Chocolate syrup, raspberry preserves, and a few orange rinds add an indulgent twist to traditional milk punch.

Recipe: Cranberry-Key Lime Punch

Can't make it to Christmas in the Keys? This punch will take you there at first sip. Cranberries and key limes make the mocktail tart and zingy enough to get the party going, no alcohol required.

Recipe: Pineapple-Basil Tea

Basil and pineapple make for a slightly tropical turn of events this holiday season, and we're ready for it. (Odds are, it's still 80 degrees outside anyway.)

Seasonal flavors abound in every sip of the spiced cider punch. Soften up the "hard" cider by trading in regular cider and leaving out the splash of bourbon.

Recipe: Cherry-Basil Fizz

A bright, tangy cherry-basil syrup takes up the reins in this refreshingly simple holiday drink. Skip the vodka to serve a crowd-pleasing "mocktail" instead.

Recipe: Ginger-and-Honey Sweet Tea

Instead of sweetening your iced tea with sugar, go with honey instead. Grated fresh ginger adds a tasty twist.

Recipe: Berry Splash

Pardon the name, this splash doesn't just belong to summertime. A cherry-cranberry concoction provides a tart and bright base, which is then garnished with fragrant mint and berries. Swap out the blueberries for cranberries if desiring a more Christmas-themed look.
