Hope this post finds all of you in the midst of a mellow week between Christmas and New Year’s. We’ve had a ton of lazy, movie-watching days here because both boys have taken turns with fevers and colds. Thank goodness for pajamas and school break!
Today I’m sharing a fun, holiday cocktail I made for Christmas Eve. It is delicious! This would make a perfect party drink for any New Year’s Eve gatherings you might be hosting or heading to. The steps are outlined below, but I’ve also included a printable recipe at the bottom of the post. Cheers!
1 ½ OUNCES Tequila (I like Tres Agaves Reposado)
2 OUNCES Cointreau
2 OUNCES White Cranberry Strawberry Juice Cocktail
2 OUNCES Freshly squeezed lime juice (1-2 limes)
Extra Limes for garnish (amount depends on how many cocktails)
1 BAG Fresh cranberries
1 OUNCE Simple syrup (see below for “how to”)
½ CUP Water
½ CUP Sugar
Coarse Salt to rim glasses
To Make Simple Syrup:
1. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the ½ cup water and ½ sugar. Whisk until sugar is dissolved and let simmer for a couple minutes. Remove from heat and cool to room temperature.
To Make Cocktail:
1. Dip rim of glass in lime juice, then dip in coarse salt. I like doing a thicker coat so it looks like snow.
2. Fill glass with ice cubes OR use ice cubes in shaker instead.
3. In cocktail shaker, add: Tequila, Cointreau, cranberry juice, lime juice, simple syrup. Shake for 45 seconds.
4. Pour into glass and garnish with floating lime wedge and fresh cranberries.
