    What to make with these cranberry cocktails

    If you're looking for some more holiday party inspiration, here are some of my favorite apps to go along with these cranberry cocktails.

    These Boursin-stuffed mushrooms are not only easy to make, but everyone will love them. The plate will be gone in 10 minutes or less. If you're a dirty martini lover, turn your favorite drink into a dip! This cold dirty martini dip is delish, and knowing how precious the oven real estate is during the holidays, bringing a cold dip is always welcomed. You can never go wrong with a burrata caprese appetizer, either! It's quick, delicious, and on-theme for the holidays, given it's red, green, and white.

    Tips for making cocktails in advance for holiday parties.

    Prep your syrups. You can easily make any simple syrups you may need 2-3 days ahead of time.
    Set your bar up. Similar to simple syrups, if your home allows it, you can always set up your bar ahead of time. I love putting this brown kraft paper down and either writing what's on the bar so people can properly help themselves, or you could decorate it all fun and cute for the holidays!
    Pre-batch any drinks. Drinks that don't include anything fizzy, such as prosecco or soda water, can be pre-batched a day or two before. Be sure to store it in an airtight container in the fridge.

    Pin it for later!
