♥ Christmas Cosmo

Thursday, December 8, 2011


You really can't go wrong with a Cosmo.  It's classic, delicious, and always hits the spot.  When it comes to cocktails, I like to keep it simple (even around the holidays).  So, instead of eggnog martinis and creamy mixers this Christmas, I thought I'd take a staple drink & just dress it up.

In this case, I added a mini candy cane (which gives it a kick of sweetness) and edible glitter stars that really stand out.  They both were the perfect additions to make this classic drink, noticeably festive.  If you want to go even further...you can crush candy canes, rim the martini glass with water, and dip the wet glass edge in the crushed candy.  
 
Be sure to give the edible glitter stars a try & add them to your favorite drink.  They are so fun!
