Ingredients Used to Make this Very Merry Mistletoe Cocktail

With only a few ingredients used, this mistletoe cocktail makes for the perfect hosting beverage. All you need is five minutes to combine 100% cranberry juice, fresh lemons, gin, and some fresh rosemary and cranberries for a fun holiday flavor. I love to serve this beverage in some of my favorite wine glasses, but will on occasion, also serve them in cocktail glasses. These beverages add a beautiful festive touch to any Christmas party!

And the best part? You can easily make this into a mocktail by simply removing the gin and adding more cranberry juice.

How to Prepare this Festive Drink

Using a muddler, press the fresh rosemary and cranberries in the bottom of a cocktail shaker. Then add the gin, cranberry juice, some ice, and freshly squeezed lemon juice. Shake well.

Pour over a glass of ice and stir well. You may garnish with more rosemary, cranberries, and a lemon slice if preferred, for a beautiful festive touch. That’s all there is to it – enjoy!
