Make this Christmas Cocktail with Vodka Your Signature Party Drink

You’ll love this delicious Christmas cocktail with vodka that I like to call a “Golden Tinsel” for a signature party drink. Make it for a gold themed cocktail party or holiday girls night in.

Christmas Cocktail with Vanilla Vodka

I’m sharing a fabulous Christmas drink for adults and it’s a terrific blend of tropical fruit flavors and vanilla. Thanks to DeKuyper tropical pineapple liqueur, this party cocktail has 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. But for several years 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.

PARTY TIP: Rim the edges of the glasses with fine sugar. Just dip in lemon juice first to help the sugar adhere.

These would make a terrific signature cocktail for a Christmas cocktail party or New Years Eve. The gold color goes with so many celebrations!

What to eat with this signature drink

  • The taste is sweet so I like to balance it with a salty snack like spicy nuts, or a cheese board.
  • Cheese & bacon canapes are easy to hold as you sip and eat.
  • Make baked brie topped 3 ways and you’re good to go!

Substitutions

The combination of ingredients as listed makes this a sweet delicious cocktail. However there are some ways you can change it slightly to fit your needs.

  • Use regular flavored vodka instead of vanilla. It will have a bit less depth of flavor than using the vanilla vodka, but still tasty!
  • You can use another fruit juice like orange, peach, or tropical blend.
  • For added sweetness you can use a splash of Sprite instead of the sparkling water.

Signature Christmas cocktail

‘Tis the season for great cocktails! Set your Christmas party apart with the perfect vodka cocktail with tropical fruity flavors.

  • Serve this for an easy cocktail party.
  • Add the recipe to these other Christmas cocktail party ideas.
  • The color makes this drink perfect for a New Years Eve party.
