You may think it's just a touch too early, but Bacardi has some tips for you this holiday season. They mostly have to do with cocktails you should consider drinking when your family, in-laws or whomever descend upon your household. And that's a great holiday tip to have.

Three of these drinks should really come in handy. One is a new twist on a classic while the another has a silly name but still promises to hit the spot. The third will help you entertain the whole fam.

The aforementioned twisted classic is an egg nog with Bacardi Select. Make this cocktail with three parts Bacardi Select, five parts half & half, half part sugar and half part vanilla extract. Shake the ingredients with crushed ice and then strain it into a mug. Maybe sprinkle some nutmeg over the mix before serving it to your impatient guests (or to yourself).

On the other hand the Bacardi Limon Jingle Bell Hopper offers a new flavor for the season. This drink uses two parts Bacardi Limon, half part sweetened lime juice and half part melon liqueur. Pour these ingredients over ice in a rocks glass. You can put in a cherry or leave it out depending on how you're feeling.

If you've got a big bunch to deal with all at once during one of these upcoming holidays, you need something for everyone. And, of course, you shouldn't have to make each everyone of them a complicated cocktail. Why not go with the Bacardi Party Punch? Get yourself a punch bowl and mix a whole bottle of Bacardi Gold Rum with a liter of cranberry juice, two liters of ginger ale, eight ounces of orange juice, one ounce of lime juice and an ounce and a half of lemon juice. Chill and serve to your guests with some citrus fruit as garnish. Everyone will be happy with your efforts.
