Delicious vs Disgusting Christmas Cocktail

Happy Holidays from the Party Shakers Family. We hope you all are enjoying the holidays even if quarantined. If you are locked down this holiday season, we hope we can bring you some holiday cheer with some delicious cocktail recipes. There is no harm in having a beverage at your home. In this tutorial we made a delicious cocktail mixture vs a not so delicious mixture holiday edition. Both beverages will have some seasonal ingredients such as pomegranate and cranberries. 

Pomegranate Martini

This holiday cocktail is based on gin. Gin has a very strong flavor on its own. However, its strong, and bold flavors blend fantastically with citrus. In this cocktail we mixed things up and added some fruity notes from the pomegranate juice. The pomegranate juice served as a partial sweetener and brought out different flavors of the gin. We couldn’t leave out the citrus as that is what ties this delicious beverage together. 

Pomegranate Martini cocktail

This beverage contains the following:

• Gin 1 ½ oz
• Pomegranate juice 1 oz
• Fresh lime juice 1 oz
• Simple syrup ½ oz
• Sliced lime to garnish

Directions:

First we need to chill our martini glass because this cocktail is going to be served straight up. Grab your shaker, and pour all your ingredients into your shaker. Add some ice and shake your cocktail. Empty out your martini glass. Once done, strain your content into your chilled martini glass. Garnish with a lime wheel and enjoy!

Jingle Juice

This beverage I highly do not recommend in serving this or drinking. It is not delicious. However, for the sake of the video tutorial, we will list the ingredients, and directions. Moreover, many things went wrong into making this cocktail. It is not sweetened, and the flavors do not mix well. However, the beverage itself does look good presentation wise. Please leave us a comment on what can be changed in this drink to make it into a delicious cocktail and worthy to serve at the bar.

Jingle Juice cocktail

This beverage contains the following:

• Vodka 1 oz
• Heavy whipping cream 1 oz
• Vanilla extract small bit
• Seasonal cranberry sprite 1oz
• Rosé 1 oz
• Cranberries for garnish – optional

Directions: 

Grab your cocktail shaker, and pour the vodka, heavy whipping cream, and vanilla. Shake vigorously so that the heavy cream becomes foamy. Fill up your tall glass with ice, add the sprite and rosé. Strain the content from your shaker into your glass. Stir the mixture and garnish with some cranberries. 

To conclude

As you can see, we do not always come up with perfect recipes. However, with trial and error we can create something spectacular. Besides all that, we hope you at least attempt the pomegranate martini and enjoy it as much we did. It is truly delicious. This mixture will blow your mind even if you are not a gin fan.
