Cosmopolitan
This classic Cosmopolitan cocktail is the perfect cocktail for the holiday season! Between its vibrant ruby red color, and the balance of tart, citrusy, and slightly sweet flavors, this iconic concoction will elevate any gathering. Made with 100% pure cranberry juice, a hint of sweetness from simple syrup, a splash of zesty fresh lime juice, the orange flavor of Cointreau, and crisp vodka, this Cosmo is a wonderful way to kick off your evening festivities.
Cranberry Martini
This festive Cranberry Martini is an elegant cocktail to serve during the holidays. Made with my Cranberry Simple Syrup, this delicious and sophisticated 3 ingredient cocktail gets dressed up with a garnish of sugared cranberries. It’s not overly sweet and has just the right amount of cranberry tang. The perfect apéritif for the holiday season!
