Hey, Reader!
Ready or not, we're heading into the holiday season. Luckily I have so many festive recipes to help make your gatherings merry & bright that I just can't wait to share!
We're kicking things off with a few cranberry cocktails for your holiday celebrations. These dark red beauties pack a punch of sweetness and tartness that's the perfect way to bridge the season from Thanksgiving to Christmas.
Cranberries also pair well with a host of different liquors, making them a quintessential holiday ingredient. You can use their juice in a cocktail or the berries to make cranberry syrup for mixing into your favorite drinks.
Let's get started!
cape codder
Also known as a vodka cranberry, this classic combo is always a crowd pleaser! Just because the ingredients are in the name doesn't mean you should wing it — there are ratios that will give you the best drink possible.
cranberry lime mocktail
When it comes to the holidays, mocktails are a must. This alcohol-free drink is bright, flavorful and fun for all to enjoy. Plus, it's really easy to make!
holiday punch
Cranberry juice, apple cider, vodka and champagne make this big batch recipe a hit for the holidays — it's in the name, after all! This is a great option to serve a crowd, since you can make the base ahead and give yourself plenty of time to mingle.
cranberry mimosa
Brunches during the holiday season have met their match with this bubbly red bevvy. Make them like a traditional mimosa or add an extra ingredient for an extra boozy kick.
yule mule
You're going to hear about the yule mule at least a few times over the holiday season, and for good reason! This twist on the ginger beer favorite is one of my most popular recipes thanks to its festive flavors.
Don't forget to add a garnish of sugared cranberries for the ultimate festive cocktail. No matter what you're up to these next few weeks, I hope you're able to sit, sip and enjoy the moment!
Cheers!
