Christmas Spirits

The holidays are quickly approaching and it is time to start thinking about what cocktails you will be bringing to the table. This festive two-toned cocktail is perfect if you have a sweet tooth.

Cranberries scream Christmas to me and that is why I decided to show you this particular cocktail. The two-toned colors are a fun element to add to your cocktail and it is super easy. See recipe below.

Ingredients (4 servings):

1 cup diet cranberry juice (Ocean Spray)
1 cup white cran peach juice (Ocean Spray)
8 oz. vodka
1 lime juiced
1/2 cup sparkling water
fresh cranberries for garnish
4 splashes of champagne (topper and optional)
sugar (rim)
ice

Directions:

First, you will need to take a lime and move it around the rim of your glass (it will help the sugar stick to your glass better than water). Take your glass and press it into your sugar. I simply put sugar on a paper plate and move the edges around in the sugar. Next, mix your white cran juice, lime juice, half of your vodka, and sparkling water together. Add the mixture to the bottom of your glasses. After, add in your ice (plentiful amount). Next, mix the diet cranberry juice and the rest of your vodka together. Slowly pour that mixture into your glasses. Finally, add a splash of champagne to each glass. Garnish your masterpiece with fresh cranberries. Enjoy!
