Spritz for Success
-
4 ounces dry Prosecco
-
1 1/2 ounces fresh grapefruit juice
-
1 1/2 ounces Aperol
-
1/2 ounce vodka
-
Splash club soda
We took a simple, elegant glass of Prosecco, and elevated it to a bright holiday cocktail that will make a splash for the office staff. To prepare, rub a wedge of grapefruit across the rim of a margarita glass, and then roll the glass in a plate of raw sugar or edible glitter. In a mixing can filled with ice, add all ingredients except soda and stir very gently. Pour and top with a splash of soda, then raise your glass to another successful year!
Candy (Cane) Land Martini
-
2 ounces peppermint vodka
-
1 ounce white crème de menthe
-
1/2 ounce Chambord
-
Candy canes and sugar
-
Simple syrup
For peppermint vodka, place five candy canes in 2 cups top-shelf vodka until candy canes dissolve (about two hours). Dip the glass’s lips first in simple syrup then rim with sugar. Pour vodka, crème de menthe, and Chambord over ice in mixing can and shake vigorously. Fill glass garnished with a candy cane, whip out your favorite retro board game, and enjoy! Bonus tip: Fill in mason jars and adorn with ribbons, creating a memorable gift for your adult guests.
Yule Mule (Or Mocktail)
-
2 ounces vodka (without for mock)
-
2 ounces cranberry juice
-
4 ounces ginger beer (ale for mock)
-
2 fresh lime wedges
-
1 Sprig of Mint
This drink picks the cranberries off the buffet table and adds them to a traditional Moscow Mule. It can also be made without alcohol as a festive yet family-friendly mocktail for everyone to enjoy around the tree come Christmas Eve. Fill a copper mug (or a seasonal glass of choice) with ice and add the liquid ingredients. Next, squeeze the juice of two lime wedges into the mug. Stir gently. Garnish with fresh cranberries and a sprig of fresh mint. Now let the caroling begin!
