12 Festive Cocktail Innovations

These festive cocktail innovations range from extravagant Christmas bars to supersized holiday cocktails.

The Berry Merry Colada and the Reindeer Punch from fast casual eatery Applebee's are two standouts that aim to elevate consumers' holiday dining experiences and their takeout orders as many continue to socially distance this holiday. The "Dubbed the $5 Sleigh Bell Sips, these new cocktails are a budget-friendly way to enjoy a boozy holiday drink." While the Berry Merry Colada remixes a classic piña colada with a strawberry swirl, Captain Morgan Spiced Rum, and Midori, the Applebee's Reindeer punch combines Smirnoff Vodka, Ocean Spray cranberry juice, sweet & sour, and cherry.

Other festive cocktail innovations to note include the Boozeballs Christmas Ornaments, a novelty gift item that is designed as a hollow decoration that can be unscrewed at the top and filled with one's favorite spirits. The ornaments can be customized with one's favorite cocktail mix and are adorned with an appropriate "drink me" message.
