Whether you’re entertaining for family or friends during the holiday season, or simply want something fun and different at the end of a long holiday week, it’s a great idea to have cocktail ideas on hand. Holiday drinks are usually syrupy-sweet and heavy, with a lot of added calories and fat. Why not change it up this holiday season by trying out these ideas for light, refreshing cocktails (and mocktails!) that will put you in the spirit!
Below are two easy-to-create ideas from our friend Amira at Fall Over Fashion:
Cranberry Sangria
Ingredients:
Bottle of red wine
Bottle of Cascade Ice Sparkling Water in Cranberry Pomegranate flavor
Rosemary, sugar, and cranberries for garnish
In a pitcher, combine wine, Cascade Ice Cranberry Pomegranate Sparkling Water, and ice. Stir and serve with rosemary, fresh cranberries and for a little more sweetness, sugar on the rim of the glass.
White Christmas
Vodka
Bottle of Cascade Ice Sparkling Water in Coconut flavor
Rosemary, sugar, and lime for garnish.
In a glass, combine two shots of vodka (you can add more if you like it stronger), Cascade Ice Coconut Sparkling Water, ice, and stir! Serve with rosemary and lime. Again, for a little more sweetness and tang add sugar and lime on the rim of the glass.You can easily skip the alcohol and enjoy these drinks with these fun garnish ideas.
