Mistletoe Martini

What’s the drink?

The Mistletoe Martini is ready for the holidays. A cocktail created to capture the spirit of the season. The Mistletoe Martini blends the flavors of cranberry and elderflower. Because it uses a light fruit juice instead of all heavy liqueurs, the flavor is refreshing.

The key ingredients contribute to the drink’s vibrant color and tartness. The addition of simple syrup balances the flavors, while vodka provides the necessary kick.

Like many seasonal cocktails, the Mistletoe Martini is not tied to a specific cultural or historical tradition but is rather a creative and fun way to celebrate the festive spirit. It’s a delightful addition to holiday gatherings.

1 1/2 ounce cranberry Juice
1 1/2 ounce vodka (Tito’s)
1/2 ounce St Germain
1/2 ounce simple syrup
