Holidays are amazing.
Shopping, wrapping, more shopping…extra time with Aunt Carol… more wrapping…
Okay, so the holidays can be kinda…stressful?
Whether it’s a rare treat or just coping with the 15 minute walk you had from your parking spot to the mall, here are a few delicious and fun cocktails to treat yourself, relax, and impress your (boozy) friends!
Let’s start with…
The Pomegranate Poinsettia!
Pretty, yummy, and oh-so-festive!
You’ll need:
.5 ounces gin (or vodka)
1 ounce pomegranate juice
1 ounce fresh lime juice
.5 ounce simple syrup
pomegranate seeds and sliced lime to garnish
Making it:
Just start by adding a couple teaspoons of pomegranate seeds to the bottom of your martini glass. Set aside.
In a cocktail shaker filled with ice, add the gin (or vodka!), pomegranate juice, fresh lime juice, and simple syrup. Shake it like you mean it!
Strain into your prepared martini glass. Garnish with a fresh lime slice.
Pretty as a poinsettia picture!
