The cocktails and mocktails you serve at your holiday party are just as much a centerpiece as your tree—but finding an exciting recipe without cutting into the time you need for cleaning, cooking, and hosting can pose a challenge.

Even if you're not celebrating a holiday, the frozen element can elevate a simple drink into a more luxe experience for any kind of celebration (birthday, anniversary, graduation, etc.), whether it has alcohol or not.
