Christmas Cranberry Cocktail

December 24, 2011

Since getting completely sucked into Pinterest a few months ago I have been making boards full of recipes, home ideas, and now wedding planning. If you are on Pinterest, please add me. I would love to see what you are finding.

 

One of my recent pins was a Cranberry Mojito, and I knew I needed to use that recipe as an inspiration for something with Vodka. Cranberry simple syrup? I can make that. I found Sparkling Cranberry Juice at Trader Joe’s and then I had my favorite vodka. Tito’s. Do you know Tito’s? If not, try it! So so so good. I prefer to Grey Goose and Kettel One. And they haven’t even sent me any free samples.

 

Maybe you have a fun event to go tonight and want to impress everyone with your cocktail making abilities. If so. Make this!
