We’re feeling a little cheeky for the 10th drink of our 12 Day’s of Cocktails segment. Balancing an array of juices with herbs, Santa’s Rosy Cheeks is bright and cherry with flavor, and sparkling with Christmas cheer.
Skip making drinks to order with this cocktail, you can mix all the juices and herbs together in advance to make hosting a breeze. I like to make it in advance to give the rosemary time to infuse with the juices, then remove the rosemary from the mix and add the Sprite or Sparkling Water shortly before serving.
