27 Nov 2023
When it comes to Christmas celebrations, many of us tend to stick to the classics like Bucks Fizz and champagne. While there’s certainly nothing wrong with tradition, why not try something different this year? Step away from the ordinary and explore the world of unique Christmas drinks that will add a delightful cacao twist to your festivities.
The holiday season is a time for joy, merriment, and creativity. So, why not apply this spirit to your beverage choices as well? Instead of reaching for the same old holiday staples, consider stepping out of your comfort zone with these unique Christmas drink ideas.
One of the best ways to break away from the norm is by infusing the rich and comforting flavours of chocolate into your Christmas drink. A mellow chocolate alcoholic tipple can be the perfect choice for those who crave a bit of depth and nuance in their festive beverages.
A classic tipple with a gentler twist – this Chocolate Martini is made with our Velvetised Chocolate Cream for a deliciously rich finish. Before you begin making your indulgent cocktail, make sure you’ve gathered the following ingredients.
Making a cocktail doesn’t have to be difficult. In fact, with just a few tools and simple, step-by-step instructions, you’ll be a mixologist mastermind in no time. Here’s how to start putting together your Chocolate Martini.
This Chocolate Martini is the epitome of indulgence and is sure to be a hit at your Christmas gathering. It’s also the perfect post-Christmas dinner treat for those who’d rather skip the dessert.
Why not treat a loved one with the gift of a cocktail in our Velvetised Chocolate Tasting Experience Gift Set? Let your special someone experience not one, but two Velvetised Creams, in both Chocolate and Espresso Martini flavours. Better yet, our gift set comes with a luxurious coupe glass, and a generous helping of our Caramel Chocolate Batonst’s the perfect combination of a celebratory tipple, alongside a delectable chocolate treat for a generous helping of Christmas magic.
Aperol isn’t just for summer, although we tend to indulge in this fruity cocktail when the sun is shining. Instead, you can add a wintery twist to turn up the heat on Aperol with our quintessentially Christmas Apple Spritz.
Perhaps one of the more straightforward cocktails, an Apple Spritz is a quick and easy recipe that’s bound to be a festive crowd pleaser.
Treating your guests with a glass of this delightful cocktail is an easy way to whip up a refreshing tipple for the festive season. To really put a smile on their face, you could gift our Chocolate & Fizz Collection.
Complete with a bottle of our Classic Prosecco, Pink Champagne Truffles, Chocolate Macarons, and an Everything H-box – it’s an experience like no other. This gift box is the perfect gift for a girl’s night in, or just for keen fans of fizz!
Popularised by the Hollywood blockbuster, “The Big Lebowski” in 1998, White Russians have soared in popularity over the years, especially as a festive drink thanks to its creamy, indulgent nature.

Another simple recipe with a decadent kick, a Salted Caramel White Russian is a great alternative for those guests who aren’t a fan of indulgent Irish creams.
What better way to add some festive sparkle to your celebrations than with the cocktail equivalent of a fireworks display? A colourful combination of tropical fruits is sure to give your immune system a much-needed boost during the winter months.
