18 Hanukkah Cocktails and Drinks to Keep you Cozy After Candle-Lighting

The way I see it, if Rosh Hashanah cocktails can be a thing, Hanukkah cocktails can be a thing, too.

“But Rebekah,” you whisper. “You made up the Rosh Hashanah cocktail thing.”

That I did, reader. That I did.

In any event, let’s talk about these wintery, warming, wonderful Hanukkah cocktails. Each of these ideas is pretty delicious-sounding—and I kept (or tried to keep, anyway) the blue food coloring mentions to a minimum. There are sophisticated whiskey Hanukkah cocktails here, classy-looking, nutmeg-spiced Hanukkah cocktails, autumnal mulled Hanukkah cocktails, and so many other similarly fabulous options. And for those of you who’d prefer to forget the alcohol altogether, there are also plenty of non-alcoholic Hanukkah drinks ahead, including a decadent slow cooker salted caramel hot chocolate (YUM), a peanut butter hot chocolate, and…have I mentioned I love hot chocolate? Because I surely do.

Happy sipping, happy Hanukkah, and as always, let me know on Instagram if you end up making any of these! And if you’re looking for more Hanukkah inspiration, there’s a ton here on the blog, including Hanukkah quotes, Hanukkah oems, Hanukkah crafts, DIY menorah ideas, and much more.
