10. Meat Market's Thai Peanut Brittle

The name doesn't exactly shout Christmas, but the flavors do. Stoli Vanilla, Castries Peanut Crème, and Domaine de Canton give the cocktail sweet creaminess, while basil and jalapeño add a little spice, reminiscent of a holiday cookie. The Thai Peanut Brittle is available through the holidays for $14.

9. SushiSamba's Holiday Flip

The flip is a classic cocktail made famous in the 1800s, when it was touted as a more modern alternative to eggnog. On December 24 and 25, SushiSamba is offering its take on the holiday flip for $13. Made with pisco, aged port, maple syrup, chocolate bitters, and egg, this frothy libation is the perfect celebratory drink if you're craving a Dickens-style Christmas.
