Officially a few hours away from Christmas Eve and as promised I wanted to get this post up for you guys! A big part of being with family and friends is having a nice drink and this one is sure to be a hit with everyone. Today I’m going to be sharing this Holiday Cranberry Mint Cocktail.
I was inspired to make this drink after I saw a cranberry lime seltzer water at Kroger. I thought man that would be good with some vodka and I knew I had to attempt to make a drink so here we are! It’s incredibly easy and you only require a few things to make it.
You can serve this to a party, for a holiday dinner, or for girls night! It isn’t sweet but you can add sugar to it if you like sweet drinks. Let’s jump into the recipe!
INGREDIENTS NEEDED
-SELTZER WATER (I PICKED UP CRANBERRY LIME AT KROGER)
-VODKA OF CHOICE
-CRANBERRIES
-MINT
-ICE
DIRECTIONS
- Take about 1/4 cup of cranberries and 4 leaves of mint and muddle it.
- Put the muddled cranberries/mint at the bottom of your cups. (If you are wanting a sweetened drink, add about 3 tablespoons of sugar to the muddled cranberry/mint combo)
- Add ice.
- Add a shot of vodka (I usually add about a shot and a quarter).
- Top off the rest of the drink with your seltzer water.
- OPTIONAL: To make the drink look extra festive, I took some wet cranberries, put them on a toothpick and rolled them in sugar to give them a frosted look. At the end of each piece I also added a leaf of mint.
- Enjoy!
I hope you guys try this drink out and if you do please send me pictures so I can see you masterpiece! Have a wonderful Christmas and I can’t wait to chat after the holidays!
