Can you believe there are only 5 More Days until Christmas?!! My weeks leading up to Christmas have been pretty great! I must have watched Elf and The Santa Clause 20 times, and I’ve had fun experimenting with some yummy Holiday cocktails! Now I’m looking forward to enjoying some time with family and seeing Bennett have fun playing with his cousins! I just wanted to throw one more Holiday cocktail your way before the weekend. This (as always) is super easy to make and one your Holiday guests are sure to enjoy!
Pomegranates are an amazing, great-for-you winter fruit that reminds me so much of the Holidays. As usual I added an herby element by making an herb-infused simple syrup. I also tried this cocktail with and without the Angostura bitters, but I definitely preferred it with the bitters because it added a level of depth and complexity!
I hope you all enjoy sipping on some delicious Holiday cocktails this Season! And of course I would love it if you gave this one a try! Happy Holidays Friends!
