Classic Christmas Cocktails Reimagined for a New Kind of Holiday Cheer

Year after year, the holidays can have a way of sneaking up on you.

One day you’re debating if it’s too early for peppermint bark, and the next you’re Googling “What to bring to a Christmas party that says ‘I tried, but not too hard.'”

To make things a little easier, we took 10 real Christmas cocktails and reimagined them
through the IndaCloud lens using our new 100mg THC Sodas:

Blue Razz, Orange Dreamsicle, and Strawberry Cream.

That means no liquor, no headaches, no weird uncle asking why you’re drinking “just soda.”

These drinks are festive, flavorful, gorgeously colorful,
and built for holiday energy without the holiday aftermath.

Let’s sip on some mocktails that actually sleigh this season 😉

❄️ 1. Blue Razz Jack Frost Refresher

Inspired by: Jack Frost Cocktail

Ingredients

• 4 oz IndaCloud Blue Razz 100mg THC Soda
  (4 oz ≈ ~20mg if evenly divided from a 100mg can, adjust as needed)
• 2 oz pineapple juice
• 1 oz cream of coconut (shake the can first so it’s smooth)
• ¼ cup frozen blueberries (for color + chill)
• Blue sugar rim (optional but cute)
• Ice

Instructions

1. Rim your glass with blue sugar (dip rim in pineapple juice first).
2. Add ice to a shaker or blender-style cup.
3. Pour in pineapple juice and cream of coconut.
4. Add frozen blueberries.
   • If you want it slushier → lightly blend for 3-5 seconds.
   • If you want it smooth → shake instead.
5. Strain or pour into your rimmed glass.
6. Top with 4 oz Blue Razz THC Soda to keep the fizz bright.
7. Stir gently once.

The Jack Frost cocktail is famous for looking like winter poured itself a drink:
bright blue, frosty, and more than a little dramatic.

Swapping in Curaco with IndaCloud Blue Razz THC Soda keeps all the visual magic but makes it lighter, fruitier, and so much more refreshing.

The pineapple adds brightness, the coconut brings a gentle creaminess,
and the blueberries give that instant “holiday centerpiece in a glass” aesthetic.

It’s cold, colorful, and honestly,
the perfect drink for anyone who wishes December comes with a beach option.

? 2. Dreamsicle Winter Wonderland Creamer

Inspired by: Winter Wonderland Cocktail

Original Cocktail Ingredients:
Vanilla vodka, white chocolate liqueur, cream.

Ingredients

• 4 oz IndaCloud Orange Dreamsicle 100mg THC Soda
  (4 oz ≈ ~20mg THC if dividing the can evenly – adjust to preference)
• 2 oz oat milk (or heavy cream for richer texture)
• ⅛ tsp cinnamon or nutmeg (a light pinch – enough to warm, not enough to dominate)
• Whipped cream for topping
• Ice

Instructions

1. Fill your glass with ice.
2. In a shaker or small jar, combine:
   • 2 oz oat milk or cream
   • Pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg
     Shake gently to blend.
3. Pour the creamy mixture over the ice.
4. Slowly top with 4 oz Orange Dreamsicle THC Soda to preserve fizz.
5. Crown the drink with a generous whipped cream swirl.
6. Optional: Dust the top with a tiny extra sprinkle of spice for “I tried today” energy.

IndaCloud Orange Dreamsicle THC Soda turns this rich, dessert-like classic into a smooth, cozy moment that tastes like the candle aisle at a holiday market,
in the best way possible.

The orange-vanilla base from IndaCloud’s Soda blends seamlessly (with a little stir) with the added cream, thus creating a silky beverage that pairs effortlessly with cinnamon or nutmeg.

We say pair this drink with soft lighting, fuzzy socks, background jazz,
and maybe pretending the world outside isn’t aggressively cold.

? 3. Strawberry Cream Candy Cane Martini

Inspired by: Candy Cane Martini

Original Cocktail Ingredients:
Peppermint schnapps, vanilla vodka, crème de cacao.

Ingredients

• 4 oz IndaCloud Strawberry Cream 100mg THC Soda
  (≈20mg THC per serving if dividing a 100mg can evenly, adjust as needed)
• 1 oz peppermint simple syrup
  (sweet + minty, strong enough without overpowering)
• 4-5 frozen strawberries
  (keeps it cold + adds color)
• Crushed candy cane rim
• Ice

Instructions

1. Rim the glass:
   • Dip the rim in peppermint syrup or water.
   • Roll in crushed candy cane.
2. Build the drink:
   In the glass, add:
   • Ice
   • 1 oz peppermint simple syrup
   • Frozen strawberries
3. Top it off:
   Slowly pour 4 oz Strawberry Cream THC Soda over the mixture to preserve sparkle.
4. Final touch:
   Stir gently once. Don’t overmix now, we want the berries to float like holiday ornaments.

This remake keeps all the festive sparkle but adds a fruity softness that makes the peppermint feel smoother and more balanced.

IndaCloud Strawberry Cream THC Soda gives the drink a rosy glow that looks beautiful in any holiday glassware, while the crushed candy cane rim adds crunch and shimmer. Frozen strawberries act as built-in ice cubes, keeping the drink chilled without watering it down.

THIS a holiday photo-op disguised as a cocktail:
sweet, bright, and playfully pepperminty 😉

❤️ 4. Strawberry Clausmopolitan

Inspired by: Santa Clausmopolitan

Original Cocktail Ingredients:
Cranberry juice, lime, citrus vodka, triple sec.

Ingredients

• 4 oz IndaCloud Strawberry Cream 100mg THC Soda
  (≈20mg THC per serving if evenly portioned – adjust as needed)
• 2 oz cranberry juice
  (use 100% cranberry for tart, cranberry cocktail for sweeter)

• Ice

Instructions

1. Rim the glass:
   • Dip the rim in lime juice.
   • Roll in sugar for that frosty holiday sparkle.

This is the drink for anyone who loves a Cosmopolitan but wants it wrapped in tinsel.

The sugar rim adds a touch of sparkle, making each sip feel like a tiny celebration.

T.L.D.R;
It’s crisp, refreshing, and perfect for holiday parties where you want to look festive but feel functional.

? 5. Dreamsicle Christmas Sunset

Inspired by: Christmas Rum Sunset

Original Cocktail Ingredients:
Rum, orange juice, grenadine.

Ingredients

• 4 oz IndaCloud Orange Dreamsicle 100mg THC Soda
  (≈20mg THC per serving if evenly divided – adjust as needed)
• 3 oz orange juice
• ½ oz grenadine (for the sunset layer)

4. Create the ‘sunset’:
   • Drizzle ½ oz grenadine down the inside of the glass.
   • It will sink to the bottom and create that red-to-orange fade.
5. Garnish with a maraschino cherry.

Layered holiday drinks always look impressive, ya know?
The kind that people assume took effort (they didn’t).

This THC Soda’s creamsicle base melts seamlessly into orange juice, creating a smooth citrus foundation that grenadine drips through like a winter sunrise.

The cherry on top adds both color and nostalgia.
It’s cheerful, photogenic, and ideal for anyone who treats their drink like part of the décor.

❄️ 6. Blue Razz Grinch Punch (Festive Edition)

Inspired by: Grinch Punch

Original Cocktail Ingredients:
Lemon-lime soda, pineapple juice, sherbet, green coloring.

Ingredients

• 4 oz IndaCloud Blue Razz 100mg THC Soda
  (≈20mg THC per serving if dividing evenly – adjust as needed)
• 2 oz pineapple juice
• 2 oz lemon sparkling water (for fizz + brightness)
• Green sugar rim
• Ice

Instructions

1. Rim the glass
   • Dip the rim in pineapple juice or water.
   • Roll in green sugar for that Grinch-green pop.
2. Build the drink
   In your glass over ice, add:
   • 2 oz pineapple juice
   • 2 oz lemon sparkling water
3. Top with 4 oz Blue Razz THC Soda
   • Pour gently to preserve bubbles and get that layered shimmer.
4. Optional: Add a lime slice or a single gummy (off-platform safe wording would be holiday candy) for flair.

This twist keeps all the playful energy of the original Grinch Punch but gives it a frosty North Pole makeover.

Blue Razz brings a crisp berry pop that blends shockingly (get it?) well with pineapple, while the lemon sparkling water adds lift without sweetness. The green sugar rim is a nod to the punch’s roots: a little mischief, a little whimsy, and the perfect amount of holiday chaos.

This is the pitcher-worthy drink for friend groups who treat the holidays like a competitive sport.

? 7. Strawberry Cream Mistletoe Mule

Inspired by: Christmas Moscow Mule

Original Cocktail Ingredients:
Vodka, ginger beer, lime, cranberries.

Ingredients

• 4 oz IndaCloud Strawberry Cream 100mg THC Soda
  (Adjust potency by reducing or increasing ounce pour, eg: 4 oz = ~20mg if evenly divided from a 100mg can)
• 3 oz ginger beer
• 0.5 oz fresh lime juice
• 4-6 fresh cranberries (muddled or floated)
• Mint sprig for garnish
• Ice

Instructions

1. Fill your glass or mule mug with ice.
2. Add ginger beer and lime juice first.
3. Gently pour in the Strawberry Cream THC Soda (keeps the fizz).
4. Toss in cranberries, clap the mint (for aroma), and garnish.
5. Give one gentle stir.

A mule is one of the easiest drinks to adapt for the holidays, and this recipe proves it.

Ginger beer does most of the heavy lifting with its bright, spicy kick, while Strawberry Cream THC Soda softens the edges and adds festive color. Lime ties everything together, and the cranberries + mint make it immediately seasonal.

It’s crisp, sparkling and refreshing.
This is kind of drink that resets your whole mood after your fifth holiday event in two days.

? 8. Orange Dreamcicle Smoked Old Fashioned (Mocktail Edition)

Inspired by: Smoked Old Fashioned

Original Cocktail Ingredients:
Bourbon, simple syrup, aromatic bitters, orange peel, smoked wood chips.

Ingredients

• 3-4 oz IndaCloud Orange Dreamsicle 100mg THC Soda
  (Use 3 oz for a stronger “Old Fashioned” profile, 4 oz for lighter + fizzier.
  4 oz ≈ ~20mg THC if splitting the can evenly.)
• 2 tsp brown sugar simple syrup
  (or ½ oz if measuring by jigger)
• 1-2 dashes zero-proof aromatic bitters
• 1 orange peel twist
• Smoke element:
  • Wood chip smoke or
  • Smoldered cinnamon stick
• Large ice cube

Instructions

1. Smoke the glass
   • Place the glass upside down over smoldering wood chips or a lit cinnamon stick.
   • Let it fill with smoke for 10-15 seconds to capture aroma.
2. Build the base
   In the smoked glass, add:
   • Large ice cube
   • 2 tsp (½ oz) brown sugar simple syrup
   • 1-2 dashes zero-proof bitters
3. Add the spirit substitute
   • Slowly pour 3-4 oz Orange Dreamsicle THC Soda over the ice.
   • Stir gently for 5-7 seconds.
4. Express the citrus
   • Twist an orange peel over the glass to release oils.
   • Rub the peel around the rim, then drop it in.

A smoked Old Fashioned is typically deep, warm, and spirit-forward but the Orange Dreamcicle twist gives it a surprisingly elevated holiday character.

The citrus brightness adds a modern edge to a traditionally heavy drink, while the bitters and brown sugar syrup still deliver that classic Old Fashioned depth.

Smoking the glass with wood chips or a cinnamon stick gives the drink a moody, wintery aroma that feels straight out of a high-end cocktail bar.

The result is a bold, fragrant mocktail with layered flavors: sweet, smoky, citrusy, and just unconventional enough to feel like an IndaCloud holiday experiment gone very right.

? 9. Blue Razz Holiday Collins

Inspired by: Cranberry Collins / Tom Collins Variations

Original Cocktail Ingredients:
Gin, lemon, soda water, cranberry syrup.

Ingredients

• 4 oz IndaCloud Blue Razz 100mg THC Soda
  (≈20mg THC per serving if dividing evenly, adjust potency as needed)
• 1 oz fresh lemon juice
• 1 oz cranberry syrup
  (or 0.75 oz if you prefer it less sweet)
• Rosemary sprig
• Ice

Instructions

1. Fill a Collins glass with ice.
2. Build the cocktail base:
   Add directly into the glass:
   • 1 oz cranberry syrup
   • 1 oz fresh lemon juice
3. Top with 4 oz Blue Razz THC Soda
   Pour gently to keep the fizz bright and layered.
4. Garnish:
   • Slap a rosemary sprig between your hands (to release aroma).
   • Place it in the glass like a festive little evergreen.

Optional: Add a few cranberries for color.

Highball-style drinks have a way of feeling elegant without trying, and this one nails that energy.

Blue Razz adds a sharp, fruity lift that plays beautifully with lemon, while cranberry syrup deepens the color and adds holiday flair. The rosemary sprig doesn’t just look fancy, it actually brings a subtle herbal aroma that rounds out every sip!

This is the mocktail you make when you want “effortless” to look very intentional.

? 10. Dreamsicle Orange Spice Toddy Mocktail

Inspired by: Orange Spice Toddy

Original Cocktail Ingredients:
Spiced whiskey, orange, cinnamon, clove.

Ingredients

• 3 oz IndaCloud Orange Dreamsicle 100mg THC Soda
  (Use 3 oz for warm toddy style; warming reduces carbonation anyway.
  3 oz ≈ ~15mg THC if dividing the can evenly.)
• 2 oz hot water (brings the warmth without diluting the flavor)
• 1 orange slice
• 3-5 whole cloves (pressed into the orange slice)
• 1 cinnamon stick

Instructions

1. Warm your glass or mug
   • Pour hot water into it, let sit 10-15 seconds, then dump.
   • This keeps the mocktail from cooling too quickly.
2. Build the toddy base:
   • Add 2 oz hot water
   • Add the cinnamon stick
3. Add your citrus spice garnish:
   • Press 3-5 cloves into the orange slice
   • Drop it into the mug so the cloves infuse the heat
4. Add the THC component:
   • Pour in 3 oz Orange Dreamsicle THC Soda
     (Pour slowly – warm temps will soften carbonation, which is intended.)
5. Stir gently with the cinnamon stick to meld flavors.

This mocktail captures everything comforting about a traditional orange spice toddy: citrus, gentle spices, that unmistakable holiday aroma but lightens it with Orange Dreamsicle’s creamy orange base.

It’s bright, fragrant, and easy to sip throughout a gathering because it tastes like the whole room is wrapped in a soft, citrusy glow.
