Our Mistletoe Martinis Will Keep You Company At Every Holiday Party


‘Tis the season for these mistletoe martinis! This is the perfect way to celebrate your various Christmas dinners you’ll have this season. With tart cranberry juice as well as notes of flower-power elderflower liqueur and sage, this is the perfect festive cocktail to drink while you get your Christmas kiss under the mistletoe, but if you don’t, you’ll have that cold glass in your hands to keep you company. Here are some tips on how to make these:

Sugared sage:
This recipe includes making candied sage leaves to add that extra touch of glamor and attention to your drink. It can definitely be made ahead and stored in an airtight container for a couple of days. If you’re short on time, you can definitely skip this and add a fresh spring of sage and some cranberries to top off the drink.

Elderflower liqueur:
The most common of these is St. Germain—it will bring freshness and delicacy to your drink. It’s true that it’s not the most common alcohol to add to your collection, but it’s very versatile in its use with other cocktail recipes, like our St. Germain spritz.

Cocktail shaker:
The beauty of a cocktail shaker is that on top of being functional and making ice cold drinks, they just look great within your bar area of the living room! Investing in one is not a must, of course. There are plenty of things that can be used as a cocktail shaker, like a large deli container or a large water bottle.
