Nothing says the holidays like a good party with family and friends.
And nothing gets the party started like some festive cocktails!
Here are a few merrily delicious drinks for the holiday season from Dr. Mixologist, Darryl Robinson.
Apple Pie Moonshine (One Batch)
Ingredients:
1 gallon Apple Juice
1/2 gallon Apple Cider
1 Cup of Sugar
1 Small Jar of Cinnamon Sticks (maybe 6-8 pcs)
1 bottle (750ml) Jr. Johnson Midnight moonshine*(may not be available in all 50 states)
Directions:
Mix gallon of apple juice, 1/2 gallon apple cider, 1 cup of sugar and boil all on the stove till sugar melts (about 5 minutes).
Take pot off stove and pour in moonshine. Stick in cinnamon sticks (the longer you leave in cinnamon sticks the more cinnamon taste will be in pot).
Drink is ready to serve hot, but you can also drink after it cools depending on what you prefer.
Ingredients:
2 1/2 ounces vodka
1 ounce Triple Sec
Simple syrup (to taste)–recipe below
2 or 3 maraschino cherries, plus 1 cherry for garnish
Splash of soda water
Directions:
Fill a martini glass with ice and water and let stand for about 1 minute.
Fill a cocktail shaker to about one-third of the way with ice. Pour in the vodka, Triple Sec and simple syrup. Add 2 or 3 cherries, squeezing them to release some of their juice; cover the shaker and shake vigorously
Pour the ice water out of the martini glass. Using a cocktail strainer, pour the cocktail into the chilled glass. Garnish with a cherry.
