You’ll love this delicious Christmas cocktail called a “Golden Tinsel” cocktail. Make it your signature drink and serve it at a gold themed party.
I can’t believe it’s less than a week until Christmas and I haven’t created an original cocktail for you guys yet! That’s pretty much unheard of on here, but thanks to DeKuyper I’m able to get one posted just in time to celebrate. I’ve teamed up with them to create something festive using one of their flavored cordials. I chose DeKuyper tropical pineapple because it’s refreshing and I wanted something with a golden color. I decided to call it a Golden Tinsel cocktail.
There are plenty of red, white, even green tinted cocktails to choose from for the holidays. This year gold has been such a hot trend that I thought it would look great in cocktail form too! I made these martinis in a cocktail shaker and garnished with frozen cranberries. They add a traditional touch and help keep it chilled at the same time. I rimmed the edges of the glasses with fine sugar. Just dip in lemon juice first to help the sugar adhere.
Christmas Cocktail – Golden Tinsel Cocktail
- 1 1/2 oz DeKuyper Tropical Pineapple
- 1 1/2 oz vanilla vodka
- 4 oz mango passion fruit juice
- 1 oz Sprite
Add ice, pineapple liqueur, vodka, and juice to a cocktail shaker and shake vigorously for 5-10 seconds.
Pour into 2 martini glasses.
Top each cocktail with a splash {1/2 oz} of Sprite and serve.
These would make a terrific signature cocktail for a Christmas party or New Years Eve. The golden color goes with so many celebrations! The taste is sweet so I like to balance that with a salty snack like nuts, or cheese and crackers.
