Sweet and Seasonal Sips for the Holidays

By Tina Karras

I asked Tina Karras of Tina’s vodka to send over a few holiday cocktails that she thought would be fun to make this holiday and she sent over some good ones! I can’t wait to try them all! 

 

 

"Chocolate Peppermint Martini": Treat yourself to a decadent and minty cocktail with this indulgent creation. In a shaker, combine Tina's vodka, chocolate liqueur, a splash of peppermint schnapps, and a touch of cream. Shake vigorously with ice until well chilled, then strain into a martini glass. Garnish with a sprinkle of crushed candy cane and a chocolate wafer. Sip and enjoy the rich and luscious flavors reminiscent of holiday treats.

2 ounces Tina's Vodka

2 ounces chocolate liqueur

2 ounces light cream or half & half

1 teaspoon of cocoa powder

1 candy cane

"Holiday Spice Punch": Gather around and share the joy of the season with this festive punch. In a large punch bowl, combine Tina's vodka, cranberry juice, orange juice, a splash of ginger ale, and a sprinkle of cinnamon. Stir gently and add ice cubes. Garnish with orange slices, cranberries, and a few cinnamon sticks. This punch is perfect for holiday parties, bringing together a medley of flavors that will delight your guests.

“Caramel Apple Mule": Indulge in the sweet and tangy flavors of caramel and apple with this twist on a classic cocktail. In a copper mug, combine Tina's vodka, apple cider, a splash of caramel syrup, and a squeeze of lime juice. Stir gently and fill the mug with ice. Top it off with ginger beer and garnish with a slice of apple and a drizzle of caramel. This cocktail is a delightful blend of fall and winter flavors.
