Christmas Eve Cocktails

Happy Christmas Eve, friends! I know I usually wait for Fridays to share cocktail recipes but considering it’s a holiday (and I still have a whole lot of presents to wrap) I thought it fitting to share a festive Christmas Eve Cocktail to help us all celebrate.

Christmas Eve Cocktails

Last week Hangar 1 Vodka sent me an early Christmas present, a few bottles of their vodka to try. Usually, I’m not a huge vodka drinker but this vodka was actually surprisingly smooth and tasty and the packaging is to die for. Not that you should judge a present by its wrapping, but I do love good packaging design! I will most certainly be bringing a bottle to my parents for Christmas dinner wrapped in a giant red bow.
Now onto tonight’s cocktail!

Christmas Eve Cocktails

This drink is a hybrid of the classic Cape Cod mixed with a pomegranate martini and brightened up with a holiday punch of rosemary. It’s the perfect cocktail to mix up for two or for a crowd and will surely help with all of your merry-making. Now I’m off to turn up the Christmas carols, shake up a Christmas Eve Cocktail or two and tackle these presents. They aren’t going to wrap themselves, you know. I hope you and yours have a very merry, festive, and joyful Christmas! Cheers!

    Happy holidays indeed! I love that this isn’t the typical vodka with cranberry type drink. Pomegranate is so much more fun 🙂

      I agree! Pomegranate is my favorite. 🙂
