This collection of winter drink recipes includes both alcoholic and alcohol-free options, with some great holiday-inspired ideas to carry you through winter. From hot winter drinks to thirst quenching cold ones, there’s something for everyone here.
These festive holiday drinks are healthier than most, using unrefined sweeteners, whole fruit, and are vegan for the most part. I hope you can find some inspiration here, either to celebrate over Christmas or New Year’s, or just for a wintery night in.
