A Cranberry Christmas Martini is made with 3 ingredients. Simple to make as a single cocktail or festive as a punch for a holiday party!
Pulled out my thrift store silver tray for this cocktail. But I’ll be honest I’ve also drank it out of a “clean” measuring cup while sitting on my dirty kitchen floor!
So what I’m saying is it is a very versatile drink!
Cranberry Christmas Martini
This is so easy! It is a 1:1:1 ratio so you can make a single cocktail, a double, or a whole punch bowl full!
Questions:
- Do I have to rim the glass?
Absolutely not, but it sure makes a girl feel fancy!
- Can I use orange juice instead of fresh-squeezed?
I’m going to advise strongly against it for a couple of reasons.
- I’ve never tried it so you will be in unchartered territory and on your own if it doesn’t work.
- Just look at that goodness and real pulp floating in that cocktail – now normally I am a no pulp person but man it is a delight in this cocktail
- What if I just need the drink immediately and don’t want to make homemade Cranberry Simple Syrup?
Practice some self-love and make the simple syrup, and if need be take a shot of the vodka while the cranberries simmer!
