Phew, holidays, am I right? It’s all going going going nonstop. As I type this, I’m in my childhood twin bed and it looks like Santa’s workshop exploded all over my room. Wrapping paper, bits of stray ribbons, name tags, tape, gift boxes, you name it. We’ve gotten through one day, people, but I need a little extra boost to get through Round 2.
For this cocktail, let’s call it “Jingle Juice,” you grab the biggest bottle of red wine in your house. It’s the holiday season, I know there’s definitely a Hulk-sized wine bottle around. Add the bottle of wine to a pitcher and then pour in Sprite’s answer to the holiday season: cranberry Sprite Zero. This pop (yup, I’m in Buffalo and I will say pop) is delicious, I was sipping on it during the day yesterday when I was in full-on baking + cooking mode. It’s got the cranberry taste without being too much. So you add that jazz to the wine in the pitcher. Finally, slice up some apples + oranges to add to your lovely holiday cocktail and stir to combine. Because, you know, I want us all to get a jump on my New Year’s resolution to be more healthy. Between the fruit + the red wine (my grandpa used to call it “his heart medicine”), no New Year’s resolutions were pre-broken in the making of this big batch holiday cocktail.
Let’s all give ourselves a pat on the back and pour another glass!!
Merry Christmas from my family to yours!
