★ Why You'll Love this Recipe ★
Dreaming of a white Christmas cocktail? Here's one that's easy to make, is frosted like glistening snow, and smells like a walk in the winter forest. Sounds magical? It really is.
Soak in the Season
As store shelves get packed full with toys and stocking stuffers, ugly sweaters abound, and strings of lights are popping up all over... can you help but get excited for the season? Embrace it. Love it. Revel in it. Make yourself this Christmas cocktail, sit by a fire somewhere and reflect on how many GOOD things there are to appreciate.
Make Room for Me Time
The Christmas season is always packed with too many things to do and I never feel like I have enough time to do them all. From baking Christmas cutout cookies to coordinating secret Santas... there are so many fun things to do that it almost becomes, well, not fun.
Enter the White Christmas Cocktail.
This Christmasy cocktail is sure to help the grumpiest and most bah-humbug of spirits snap back into the joy of the season. Or at least make you forget about the stressed of it all for a few hours. 🙂
This frosty white beverage is garnished with fresh cranberries and rosemary making it look and even smell so very Christmasy! Rosemary adds a fresh woodsy scent to an otherwise creamy mint taste.
Winter Garnish
Cranberries are just for looks but you can nibble on them when you're done with the drink if you can handle their tart flavor. If you use your imagination, this frosty white beverage is a lot like a walk in the woods during winter. Luckily though, you can enjoy it sitting inside by a warm fire with friends.
