Punch

Try this frothy, creamy cocktail instead of eggnog to kick off your Christmas festivities.

This drink is sweet, pretty, and refreshing. Grenadine can be found in the liquor section of most supermarkets.

Omit the alcohol for a kid-friendly drink.

For extra-slushy Margaritas, freeze the drinks in the blender jar at least thirty minutes and up to one hour; stir, if necessary, before serving. Instead of using salt, coat the glass rims with superfine sugar: Run a lime wedge along the rims to moisten, then dip them into a shallow saucer of sugar.
