Winter Sangria

This winter sangria recipe from A Pretty Life in the Suburbs is perfect for a party. Make a big batch in your favorite punch bowl or jug and let your guests serve themselves. While you're drinking, don't forget to take a bite out of the wine-soaked fruit.

Sparkling Blue Mocktail

Blue fruit punch and sparkling cider are the key ingredients needed to make the sparkling blue mocktail from What's Cooking, Love. You can substitute Prosecco or another sparkling wine to turn the mocktail into a cocktail. Either way, the blue sprinkles around the rim are the perfect finishing touch.

Cranberry Pomegranate Margarita

The cranberry pomegranate margarita from A Spicy Perspective is the perfect companion to your nacho bar. The drink is made with only four simple ingredients, but the rim made with salt and taco seasoning gives this drink an unexpected twist.
