Time 5m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 oz. vanilla vodka
1/2 oz. Triple Sec
1 oz. cranberry juice
1 oz. maraschino cherry juice
1 maraschino cherry or 1 fresh raspberry
about 3 oz. sparkling wine, such as Champagne, Prosecco, or sparkling Moscato, chilled
red sanding sugar sprinkles (optional)

Steps:

  • Place some red sanding sugar sprinkles in a shallow bowl or plate.
  • Moisten the rim of a champagne flute with water and dip in the red sugar sprinkles to coat.
  • Set aside until you're ready to pour in the Sparkling Rudolph's Nose cocktail mixture.
  • Fill a cocktail shaker ¾ full with ice. Add vanilla vodka, Triple Sec, cranberry juice, and maraschino cherry juice ; shake for about 10 seconds until chilled and well mixed. Strain into a champagne flute.
  • Drop a maraschino cherry or raspberry into the champagne flute as the "Rudolph's nose."
  • Top off with sparkling wine. Stir gently to combine.
  • Serve immediately.
  • This Sparkling Rudolph's Nose cocktail is on the sweet side, and plenty sweet with the 1 ounce of cranberry juice. If you would like it a bit sweeter, reduce the cranberry juice to 1/2 ounce.
  • Grenadine can be used instead of the maraschino cherry juice. Be aware, the cocktail will be a little more sweet when made with grenadine.
  • The cocktail mixture can be prepared in larger batches in advance and chilled in the refrigerator until serving time. Simply combine the vanilla vodka, Triple Sec, cranberry juice, and maraschino cherry juice in a pitcher or similar container and chill. At serving time, pour into individual champagne glasses, add the "Rudolph's nose," and top off with sparkling wine.

RUDOLPH THE RED NOSED REINDEER COOKIES



Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer Cookies image

Very CUTE little cookies that will bring a smile to the little ones faces! Great little cookies to send to school on "Christmas Party" day! You will be the hit of the classroom! (hint: you can use icing bag with piping tip, and a frosting that dries hard to stick on the eyes and nose, I use a stiff buttercream frosting colored the color of the eyes and nose, it works faster for me than the melted chocolate). I just LOVE all the cute photos and different ideas for this recipe!
