The Short Version
Bartesian® has seven holiday packs this year.
Each pack has four drinks, with two capsules of each drink.
There are 14 different holiday drinks in all. Some drinks come in more than one pack.
Twelve of the 14 drinks are also in the 2026 Advent Calendar. The two that are not are Peach Cobbler and Frosty Navel. Peach Cobbler is brand new this year. Frosty Navel is a returning drink.
I have tasted three of the 14 drinks so far. My notes are below, with links to my full reviews.

What are the 14 holiday drinks?
Below is every holiday drink. They are grouped by the spirit each one uses.
For each drink, you will see what it tastes like, how Bartesian suggests serving it, and which packs it comes in.
The glass and garnish come from Bartesian's website. They are suggestions, not rules.
Vodka drinks
Frosted Ambrosia
A vodka drink based on ambrosia salad. It has fruit punch, cherry, coconut and marshmallow flavors.
How Bartesian suggests serving it: Over ice in a lowball glass, with a maraschino cherry, pineapple chunks and mandarin orange slices.
Comes in: the Nice Collection and the Winter Vodka Collection.
My taste notes. I rated it 9 out of 10. It pours a light, bright orange. I found it nutty, with coconut, and not overly sweet. It is my favorite holiday drink so far. Read my full Frosted Ambrosia review.
Salted Caramel Espresso Martini
A coffee drink with caramel and a little sea salt.
How Bartesian suggests serving it: In a martini glass with a sugar rim.
Comes in: the Festive Collection and the Winter Vodka Collection.
My taste notes. I rated it 8 out of 10. It tastes like sweet coffee and caramel, with a hint of salt. It is not overly sweet. Read my full Salted Caramel Espresso Martini review.
The Grinch Appletini
A sweet and tart green apple drink. It has shimmer that sparkles in the glass.
How Bartesian suggests serving it: In a martini glass with an apple wheel and a sugar rim.
Comes in: the Holiday Collection, the Naughty Collection and the Winter Vodka Collection.
My taste notes. I had this one a while ago, and I need to taste it again before I say more.
Frosty Navel
An orange and peach drink. It is a returning drink, and it is not in the Advent Calendar.
How Bartesian suggests serving it: Over ice in a highball glass, with fresh fruit and a Zesty Orange Sugar rim.
Comes in: the Festive Collection and the Winter Vodka Collection.
Tequila drinks
Berry & Bright
A blueberry and lemon drink with a touch of cardamom. It has shimmer.
How Bartesian suggests serving it: In a highball glass with a rosemary sprig and blueberries.
Comes in: the Naughty Collection, the Festive Collection and the Winter Tequila Collection.
My taste notes. I rated it 8.5 out of 10. It is a great easy sipper. Berry and a little sweetness come first, and it is smooth. As the ice melts, the tequila comes forward, in a good way. Read my full Berry & Bright review.
Jollypeño Margarita
