I have fun making new drinks especially during the festive holiday season. With a great product like New Amsterdam Vodka or Gin as the foundation and delicious recipes to follow, impressing your friends will be a snap. Soon you will be saying, "Shaken or stirred' and be able to mix-up a delightful cocktail.

For starters, here are my four personal holiday picks. All you have to do is click the cocktail, and you will get the complete recipe! For recipes that suit every season and every occasion, check out more cocktail recipes here.

While you are gathering your supplies, be sure to try New Amsterdam Spirits. It's smooth enough to drink straight yet distinctive enough to hold its own in any cocktail.
