Christmas Cocktails

Christmas is almost here and, especially this year, nothing rings better than holiday cocktails. Santa is making his list and checking it twice, and so are we with naughty and nice cocktails that are easy to make!

Our naughty cocktail – a Smokin‘ Grinch – and our nice cocktail – called Rudolph’s Sleigh – are both unique, delicious, and festive! Have fun! Let us know what you think about these drinks in the comments below.

Smokin’ Grinch

1. Squeeze juice from 1 large lime (2 oz) into a drink shaker with a couple of ice cubes.

2. Use rest of lime to moisten rim of margarita glass, and then dip rim into plate of salt, lime zest, a touch of cayenne, and green Christmas sprinkles.

3. Add to shaker a spoon of honey, a large splash (1 oz) of Grand Mariner or Cointreau, 3 oz of a Reposado Tequila, and some jalapeño seeds.

4. Shake. Pour over a large ice cube in your glass, garnish with slices of lime and jalapeño — and enjoy!

Rudolph’s Sleigh

1. Pour as much Basil Hayden’s bourbon as you like over an extra large ice cube.

2. Add 3 Fabbri Amarena Cherries and a bit of the syrup they are soaked in.

3. Add a sprig of something green and drink up!
