A Signature Cocktail Inspiration: Winter Sun

Not all signature cocktails during the winter months have to match the holidays' "sugar and spice" theme to feel celebratory. This delicious and colorful spirit will add a citrus punch to your wedding. 

Here's a little cocktail confection to brighten even the most dreary winter day. Clementine juice and a touch of lemon combine with vodka for a bright and happy drink. A sprig of rosemary adds a whiff of wintry evergreen.

Ingredients:

• juice of 2 clementines (about 1/4 cup)
• juice of 1/2 small lemon (1/2 oz)
• 1/2 oz triple sec
• 1 1/2 oz vodka
• sprig of rosemary
• lemon zest
• sugar

Preparation:

Moisten the rim of your glass with some fruit juice. (The juice helps the sugar to adhere better than water does.) Combine zest and sugar in a shallow bowl or plate. Turn the glass over onto plate and coat with sugar. 2. Pour juices, triple sec, and vodka into a shaker. Shake and then pour over ice. Garnish with rosemary sprig.

Cheers!
