What are you in For!
Today is the second day of my 12 Days of Christmas Cocktails series. The first one was my favourite – spiked butterbeer!
Many of my followers on Instagram told me that the last cocktail was really elaborate and needed a lot of work! Well, all I have to say that it’s really worth it! But, today’s cocktail needs no work at all! It’s as Christmas-y as it can get!
12 Days of Christmas Cocktails | Day 2
On the second day of Christmas
my true love sent to me:
2 Turtle Doves
and a Partridge in a Pear Tree
Now, I am sharing a this cocktail which you can have two ways! Replace the wine with sparkling water, the vodka with lemon lime soda and add a dash of simple syrup, and you get a minty Shirley’s temple for the alcoholics!
Everything is overflowing with candy cane during holidays and I don’t see a reason not to use it in my drinks! I really hope you like this cocktail and you can definitely experiment with it!
