A cocktail tree is one of the easiest ways to give a Christmas tree a point of view. Start with martini ornaments, the most searched drink on the branch: an espresso martini glass, a lemon drop martini, a pink cosmopolitan, and an order of three olives. Pour the classics next, a Manhattan, an old fashioned, and a Dirty Shirley, then add champagne pieces for sparkle, from a bubbly bar cart and a champagne bathtub to a champagne button for one more pour. A rose cooler and an aperitif bring color, a mug of eggnog keeps it seasonal, and a local brewery covers the beer lover in the family.
Drink ornaments are some of the most giftable ornaments there are, because they need no sizing and say something specific about the person who opens one. Tie a martini ornament to a bottle of gin for a hostess gift, hand a champagne piece to the friend who hosts New Year's Eve, or bring a bar cabinet ornament to a housewarming. At an ornament exchange or a holiday cocktail party, a cocktail design is an easy crowd-pleaser, and an alcohol-themed ornament is a natural stocking stuffer for the home bartender.
