1 Pumpkin spice martini
It’s time to add as much pumpkin spice as possible to your food and drinks again. This martini is a great way to finish off a long workweek, to spice up your weekend.

2 White Christmas
Yogurt ice cream, vodka, prosecco, lime juice and red fruit; everything you need for your wintry scroppino. Because of the drink’s white color with the red fruit on top, it’s perfect for ending your Christmas dinner. Besides: who still feels like having a heavy dessert after an elaborate dinner?

3 Black velvet
Dark days call for dark drinks. This cocktail is perfect if you can’t choose between beer and champagne. In this cocktail, the foamy head adds an extra festive effect.

4 A great start to your weekend
The perfect cocktail to kick off your weekend. All you need is gin, plum jam (or another jam), sparkling water and rosemary or sage. Fruity and herbal, what more could you want?

5 Ginger sparkler
A fresh, bittersweet cocktail to get you into the Christmas spirit. This cocktail combines fresh ginger, sugar, water and bubbles. Easy peasy then.

6 Black pearl coffee champagne 
The Pirates of the Caribbean has nothing on it. This cocktail is the perfect dessert to prevent after-dinner dips.
