CLEVELAND, Ohio — Cocktails are a major part of the holiday celebrations for many people. Spiked hot chocolate, boozy egg nog and red and green martinis are the norm at bars once December rolls around.
The holidays are also a time to party at home. Anyone who has hosted a holiday soiree knows how big of an undertaking it can be, and becoming the party mixologist is never a fun way to spend the evening. Thankfully, many alcohol brands have ready-to-drink cocktails in cans and beyond to take the guesswork out of holiday hosting and won’t require you to take out any bar equipment.
Here are 8 ready-to-drink cocktails for easy holiday drinking this season that don’t even require a glass for serving, unless you want to be extra fancy for the season.
