Christmas Spirits : The Pointsettia Cocktail Recipe


Today I am linking up with Heather & Natasha to share a holiday drink!  I love a good, festive holiday cocktail!  We had some friends coming in town last weekend for our company Christmas party and I whipped up this little concoction to greet our guests with and cheers before we headed to the party.  




Poinsettia Cocktail Recipe

Ingredients
1/4 cup vodka
1/4 cup Champagne
1/2 cup cranberry juice
Crushed ice
2 strips orange zest, each about 1/4-inch wide and 2 inches long


Directions
Combine the vodka, Champagne and juice in a large-stemmed red wine glass. Add crushed ice and stir until the mixture is well chilled. Twist the orange strips over the glass, drop them in, and serve.


What's your favorite holiday cocktail??
