Holly Jolly Christmas Cocktail
I’m welcoming in Christmas with this Holly Jolly Christmas Cocktail. It’s a delicious mix of vodka, St. Germain (elderflower liquor), and fresh-squeezed orange juice. All mixed together and topped with bubbly ginger beer and extra festive pomegranates. It’s so simple, refreshing, cheerful, and beyond good. You can also serve this festive cocktail pitcher style for friends and family this Christmas.
I used regular orange juice, but blood orange juice or even grapefruit juice are both really great options. If you go with blood oranges, you’ll end up with a very festive red cocktail. You can easily make this ahead of time for all your holiday parties. Just be sure to add the ginger beer right before serving so that it does not lose any of its fizz! It’s all about that fizz!
Enjoy!
