Holiday Drinks to Make you Cheer

It’s finally the holiday season. If you’re anything like me you’ve bitten off more than you can chew and your stress level is through the roof. Well, take a deep breath and relax. You’ve got everything under control and it’s time to enjoy a festive ‘adult’ beverage. I’m calling my drink The Tipsy Reindeer.It’s delicious and ridiculously easy (because we don’t need anything else difficult right now).

The Tipsy Reindeer

* 2 oz of Canada Dry Cranberry Gingerale

* 2 oz of Orange Juice

* 1 oz of Vodka

* Fresh Cranberries to garnish

Take the OJ and Vodka and add them to a shaker. Shake away all your frustrations. Pour into and festive cup or wine glass. Top with the Canada Dry Cranberry Ginger Ale and stir. Add some fresh cranberries to garnish. Sip and enjoy. You can make this in bigger batches or just to savor yourself.

Need the ingredients and running out of time? Head over to your local Safeway Store for quick and convenient shopping. All the ingredients you need for this drink and all your holiday meals needs can be found without any hassle. Check out their bakery for yummy deserts if you need something quick without all the work.

Speaking of saving time, I use a ton of crockpot recipes during the holidays. Crockpots save time because all you do is turn them on and run around doing whatever you need to do. The downfall….clean up. I’ve found if you use the the crockpot liners, you can save a ton of time scrubbing at the end of the day. More time to enjoy yourTipsy Reindeer!
