Gluehwein
This Christmas Market staple is served throughout Europe during the Holiday season. Wine (usually red) is warmed with delicious spices such as nutmeg, cinnamon, cardamom and ginger and sweetened with sugar or vanilla bean. Gluehwein goes by many names, including Swedish Glogg, svarene vino in the Czech Republic, vin fiert in Romania, and as Mulled Wine in English speaking countries.

Cola de mono
Although Chile is probably better known for pisco sours and wine, at Christmastime it's time to indulge in a glass of "monkey's tail". Similar in texture and taste to eggnog, it contains aguardiente (a generic term for any hard liquor), milk, sugar, coffee and cloves. Yum!
Sorrel Punch
Sorrel Punch is a traditional Christmas drink of the Caribbean that is made from dried hibiscus flowers, locally known as sorrel. This is combined with dark rum, sugar, fresh ginger, water and lime juice to make a nice change from the usual mulled wine.

Coquito
