Tis the season to be jolly. And to drink Christmas-spiced White Russians because let me tell you, they’re damn delicious!
Christmas cocktails! YAY! I absolutely love a good cocktail but during the festive season, they seem to taste that much more delicious, don’t they? I don’t know if it’s the stress from finding perfect gifts or just the fact that it’s the end of the year but I appreciate a good cocktail so much more when December rolls around.
And today I have a treat for you because this Christmas-spiced White Russian recipe is an absolute hit. I mean, let’s face it, White Russians are always a good idea but when you add a Christmas-spiced syrup to the mix, you know we’re in for a party.
The spiced syrup can be made up to two weeks in advance and kept in a sealed container in the fridge making the assembly of this cocktail even easier. Make a single serving White Russian when your in-laws are stressing your out or a big jug to share with friends. Either way, we’re getting jolly, right?!

I love White Russians and your recipe looks Simply delectable! Dangerous too, how do you only have one?!
They are very dangerous but so worth it!
I made a big jug of these White Russians for a party over the weekend and they were an instant hit. All my guests asked for the recipe!
Oh that’s so good to hear Paula! Chuffed as chips that you and your guests liked this recipe.
How beautiful are those photos? So Christmassy and festive! And I love this recipe. White Russians are so delicious.
Thanks so much Joy!
That spiced syrup sounds wonderful Alida! Cheers to the holidays!
Cheers Mary Ann!
Oh wow, I think I’m going to have to give this a go! I am an avid guzzler of White Russians at home and I generally make mine wth milk and two big spoon fulls of vanilla Haagen Dazs!
Yum! That sounds delicious. Hope you love my spiced version!
