We love this Santa Clausmopolitan recipe! It is such a festive cocktail, perfect for the holiday season. We love taking classic cocktails and giving them a couple of upgrades to make beautifully festive holiday drinks. This cocktail is one of our favorites for the Christmas season.

Ingredients:

• 2 oz. vodka
• 3 oz. cranberry juice
• 1 oz. triple sec
• 1 oz. fresh lime juice
• Ice
• 1/4 cup fresh cranberries for garnish
• 1 lime wedge for rimming the glasses
• White sanding sugar for the rim

Directions:

Step 1: To rim your glass, add a shallow layer of sanding sugar to a saucer or shallow dish. Then, run a lime wedge around the edge of the glass, and dip into the sanding sugar.

Step 2: Fill a cocktail shaker with ice, and add vodka, cranberry juice, triple sec, and lime juice. Shake to combine and chill.

Step 3: Pour into a chilled martini glass, and garnish with fresh cranberries.

How to make a large batch of Santa Claus-mopolitan cocktails-

To a large pitcher, add 1 cup vodka, 1 1/2 cups cranberry juice, 1/2 cup triple sec, and 1/2 cup fresh lime juice. You can, of course, double, or even triple these amounts for even bigger batches! Keep your pitcher chilled for a quick and easy way to serve these at a Christmas party or holiday cocktail party.

Substitutions & Tips:

• You can also garnish these with an orange slice or a twist of orange peel!
• We used sweetened cranberry cocktail juice, if you use unsweetened cranberry juice, you may want to add some simple syrup to the recipe.
• A sprig of rosemary is also a great festive touch for garnish.
