The holiday season is here and today I have a delicious holiday cocktail for you to ring in the holidays with – my Cranberry Honey Blossom Cocktail. This festive sip will be the toast of your holiday party.
Holiday planning has commenced and I will be having a homemade holiday with well-thought out gifts and treats for those that I adore. Just between you and I, for a few of my favorite peeps, I will be crafting gift baskets filled with some of my favorite spirits and mixers and, for my tequila aficionados, it will be a Hornitos® holiday with the makings for this delicious sip.
I love the flavors of cranberry and orange, so when Hornitos® Tequila asked for a must-make holiday cocktail, I knew I had to incorporate those flavors along with a hint of spice and, for sweetness, a touch of honey. This cocktail is so easy to make and it’s simple to adjust the amount accordingly for parties where you might need to make more than just a few. Make a pitcher of this signature sip and you can be a guest at your own soiree! No need to play bartender all evening, right?
The key to this drink is the spiced honey syrup that is simmered with orange rind, star anise and cinnamon. If you want a stronger honey flavor, just increase the honey using a ratio of 2 to 1 and it should work out lovely. For the perfect pop of citrus, freshly squeezed orange juice compliments the tart cranberry juice. I paired these flavors with Hornitos® Plata Tequila, which I often use in many of my tequila cocktails. This drink would also be lovely paired with Hornitos® Spiced Honey Tequila that has a touch of honey with notes of vanilla and spice.
Hornitos® Plata Tequila has crisp, clear notes with hints of clove and spice, perfect for the holiday season. I love using Hornitos® not only in my cocktails, but also in various cooking and baking recipes. After all, tequila is not just for margaritas.
This holiday season, for a festive holiday cocktail that will have your guests dancing the night away, serve this Cranberry Honey Blossom Cocktail!
Happy Holidays!
