I really love making the holidays feel special, and honestly, mixing up festive drinks is kind of my thing.
With the right cocktails, you can bring warmth, flavor, and a little sparkle to every Christmas gathering.
Using Tito’s as the base just makes everything simpler. You get drinks that taste seasonal, look impressive, and don’t require a ton of effort.
Here, I’ll share a mix of cozy warm drinks, some fruity twists, and a few fun holiday flavors. There’s something for a chill family night or a big party—these cocktails make it easy to celebrate in style.
1) Tito’s Cranberry Moscow Mule

I’m always reaching for a Tito’s Cranberry Moscow Mule around the holidays. It’s festive, easy, and just feels right for Christmas.
The base is Tito’s Handmade Vodka—it’s clean and smooth, so it doesn’t overpower the cranberry juice. That tart cranberry gives you a bold red color, which looks awesome in a copper mug.
I go for 100% cranberry juice if I want it tart, but honestly, sweetened works if that’s what you have. A squeeze of fresh lime juice brightens things up and gives a nice citrusy edge.
Then, ginger beer. It’s spicy, fizzy, and just brings it all together. I stir gently—don’t want to lose those bubbles.
For garnish, a handful of fresh cranberries and a sprig of rosemary. The cranberries float, the rosemary smells great, and suddenly it’s a festive drink.
Copper mugs keep things cold and look classic, but a regular glass with ice is totally fine. No need to stress.
This is one of those cocktails you can make for one or for a crowd. Just scale it up and it still works.
The flavors stay balanced—vodka smooth, cranberry tart, lime bright, ginger beer spicy. None of them shout over the others.
Making a Tito’s Cranberry Moscow Mule is kind of a holiday ritual for me now. It’s festive, refreshing, and just fits the season.
2) Tito’s Spiced Apple Cider

When it gets chilly, I always want Tito’s Spiced Apple Cider. It’s warm, cozy, and super easy to throw together for friends or family.
I heat up some apple cider on the stove, tossing in a cinnamon stick, a couple of cloves, and a slice of orange. The spices make the kitchen smell amazing.
Once it’s hot, I pour it into a mug and add a shot of Tito’s Handmade Vodka. The vodka blends in so smoothly—never takes over the apple flavor.
I’ll usually garnish with a cinnamon stick or a thin apple slice. Looks nice, feels festive. Sometimes, if I’m feeling fancy, a pinch of nutmeg on top.
This one’s great for small get-togethers. Make a mug for yourself or a big pot for everyone—no stress.
The combo of warm cider and spices with Tito’s just works. Not too sweet, and the spices keep it interesting.
Honestly, it’s the kind of drink I want to sip slowly while hanging out by the tree.
3) Tito’s Holiday Sangria

Tito’s Holiday Sangria is a go-to for me when I want something festive but not fussy. It’s vodka, wine, and a bunch of fresh fruit—what’s not to like?
I grab a bottle of red wine and pour in a good splash of Tito’s Handmade Vodka. It gives the sangria a little kick and keeps it from being too sweet.
For fruit, I slice up oranges, apples, and cranberries. The colors pop, and the flavors soak into the drink. Sometimes I’ll add a cinnamon stick for a bit of spice.
I let it chill in the fridge for a few hours so the flavors can meld. It’s worth the wait.
When I’m ready to serve, I pour it over ice and top with a splash of sparkling water. The bubbles make it feel lighter and more festive.
This works for a couple of people or a whole crowd. Just double up the ingredients if you need more.
If I want it sweeter, I’ll add orange juice or a little honey. If it needs to be lighter, more sparkling water does the trick.
It’s simple, colorful, and easy to pour for everyone. Feels just right for a holiday toast.
4) Tito’s Peppermint Martini

I’m a big fan of the Tito’s Peppermint Martini for holiday parties. It’s festive, crisp, and honestly, it’s way easier to make than it looks.
I shake up Tito’s Handmade Vodka with peppermint schnapps and a splash of cream or white chocolate liqueur. It ends up smooth, a little sweet, and super cool with each sip.
A chilled martini glass is a must, in my opinion. I’ll rim it with crushed candy cane for that extra holiday vibe.
Sometimes I’ll drop in a mini candy cane or sprinkle crushed peppermint on top. It’s those little touches that make people smile.
This one’s perfect after dinner—light, minty, and not too heavy. The creamy texture balances out the vodka, and the peppermint just screams Christmas.
Every time I make it for friends, people ask for the recipe. It’s almost too easy, honestly—just shake and serve.
Best served ice cold, right after mixing. The chill and the peppermint together are just so good.
5) Tito’s Gingerbread Mule

If you want something that feels like Christmas but isn’t a ton of work, try the Tito’s Gingerbread Mule. It’s festive, has a little spice, and is still super simple.
I start with Tito’s Handmade Vodka and ginger beer—classic mule stuff. A splash of gingerbread syrup brings in that warm, sweet spice.
A squeeze of fresh lime keeps it from getting too sweet. I always serve it in a copper mug with ice because, well, why not?
For garnish, a lime wedge or a tiny gingerbread cookie on the rim is just fun. It makes the drink feel like a treat.
This one’s easy to scale for a group or just make for yourself. You don’t need to overthink it.

6) Tito’s Pomegranate Fizz

The Tito’s Pomegranate Fizz is my pick when I want something light, colorful, and ridiculously easy. It’s crisp, bubbly, and looks great on the holiday table.
I pour Tito’s Handmade Vodka, pomegranate juice, and a splash of club soda over ice. A gentle stir keeps the fizz alive.
A squeeze of lime gives it a little tartness, which balances out the sweetness from the juice. It just makes everything pop.
I’ll toss in a few pomegranate seeds—they float and look festive. Sometimes, if I have it, a sprig of rosemary for a little aroma.
This drink’s perfect for casual gatherings. It’s not too strong, and you can make a batch in no time.
The bubbles make it feel light—none of that heavy holiday drink feeling. That’s a win for me.
Tall glasses show off the deep red color best. It really stands out, especially with the seeds floating around.
If I want it a bit sweeter, I’ll use flavored sparkling water instead of plain. Still bubbly, just a touch more flavor.
Honestly, I end up making this one a lot in December. It’s quick, refreshing, and brings a festive vibe without any hassle.
7) Tito’s Eggnog Cocktail

Eggnog is a holiday classic, but I like to give it a twist with Tito’s Eggnog Cocktail. It’s cozy, festive, and super easy to make.
I use store-bought or homemade eggnog, pour it into a glass, and add a shot of Tito’s Handmade Vodka. A gentle stir and that’s pretty much it.
A pinch of ground nutmeg or cinnamon on top makes it smell amazing. Sometimes I’ll grate a little chocolate over it, just for fun.
I like serving it in a small glass or mug. If the eggnog’s chilled, I skip the ice, but one cube is fine if you want it colder.
If you want it sweeter, a splash of vanilla syrup or a drizzle of honey works. It just makes the drink a bit richer.
This is a great one for family gatherings or a small party. You can make a pitcher ahead of time and just pour when people show up.
It’s simple, but it feels special. Tito’s Vodka blends right in with the eggnog, and those holiday spices pull everything together.
8) Tito’s Winter Citrus Smash

I’ve gotta say, I really enjoy making a Tito’s Winter Citrus Smash when it’s cold out. There’s something about that mix of vodka and citrus that just hits the spot—sweet, tart, and somehow bright even when it’s gloomy outside.
It’s a simple drink, honestly, but it ends up looking festive with almost zero effort. I always start with Tito’s Handmade Vodka as the base.
Then, I squeeze in some fresh orange and lemon juice for that crisp flavor. A little honey or simple syrup smooths it out and adds a touch of sweetness.
I like to muddle a few citrus slices right in the glass before pouring in the vodka. It brings out the oils from the peel, which makes the drink smell amazing and gives it a bold citrus kick.
For a bit of sparkle, I top it with club soda. Those bubbles make it light and refreshing, which is just what I want at a holiday get-together.
Usually, I serve it in a short glass packed with ice. I’ll toss on a slice of blood orange or maybe a sprig of rosemary—nothing fancy, but it looks great.
Small touches like this make the cocktail feel special. I’ll use whatever citrus I have on hand, honestly.
Grapefruit, lime, tangerine—they all work. I kind of like experimenting and seeing what combo I end up with.
9) Tito’s Cinnamon Maple Sour

I think this Tito’s Cinnamon Maple Sour is a perfect mix of warm spice and sweet maple with that smooth Tito’s finish. It’s festive, but not heavy—definitely one I make again and again come December.
To make it, I shake together Tito’s Handmade Vodka, fresh lemon juice, maple syrup, and a pinch of ground cinnamon with ice. The result is bright, sweet, and has a little tartness.
I usually strain it over fresh ice in a short glass. A dusting of cinnamon on top makes it look cozy and adds a little extra flavor.
