It’s Thirsty Thursday, so I though I would share a few easy holiday cocktail recipes! I made a Cranberry Moscow Mule (a play on my favorite cocktail), an Apple Cider Mimosa, and a Grinch themed Appletini. 

1. Cranberry Moscow Mule

– 1 1/2 oz Vodka
-8 oz Ginger Beer
-1.5 tbs Cranberry Juice Cocktail
-Juice of 1 Large Lime
-Frozen Cranberries (optional)

Mix all ingredients together and serve over frozen cranberries (or ice)! Garnish with a lime slice and you’re good to go!

2. Apple Cider Mimosa

-1/2 cup Prosecco (or Champagne, whichever you prefer)
-1/4 cup Apple Cider
-Apple Slices and Brown Sugar (optional)

Combine Prosecco and Apple Cider and add apple slices for garnish. If you want an added flair, rim your glasses with brown sugar!

3. Grinch Green Appletini

-2 oz Green Apple Vodka
-1/2 oz Apple Schnapps
-1/4 oz Sour Mix
-Apple Slice (optional)
-Red Sprinkles (optional)

Add vodka, schnapps, sour mix, and ice into a cocktail shaker. Shake and drain and pour into your glass. Garnish with apple slices or red sprinkles on the rim for an extra festive look.

The apple cider mimosa is by far my favorite of the three, but the Grinch Appletini is definitley the most fun! If you try any of the recipes, let me know or tag me on Instagram in any photos @bluebonnet porch!
