Nothing gets you in a holiday party mood more than a signature cocktail for the occasion! Although I’m not a huge liquor drinker, I like to treat myself to a festive beverage during this special time of year simply because of the flavors!
In an effort to concoct the perfect blend of seasonal tastes into a Christmas cocktail, I’ve partnered up with Patrón to share a recipe I’m very proud of & plan to serve to friends & family this weekend!

Patrón Tequila is raising the bar this season of gift giving and holiday entertaining with the introduction of this year’s Patrón Silver One-Liter Limited Edition Bottle!
Instead of a salt rim, I crushed several mini candy canes in a Ziploc bag, gently wet the rim of the glass, & dipped it into the peppermint for a sweeter, more seasonal approach. Plus, I find it adds to the overall presentation!
