Holiday Vodka Sippers
This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Wheatley Vodka. All opinions are 100% mine.
The holidays are almost here and although they may look very different for many of us this year, that doesn’t mean we should compromise on good food and drinks. In fact, I think this justifies extra delicious festive treats and cocktails this year!
My friends at Wheatley Vodka asked me to create the perfect holiday cocktail for Christmas and New Year’s Eve. Of course, I am always down to mix up a new drink and Wheatley Vodka is my go-to vodka to use.
Wheatley Vodka is is crafted in small-batches and is distilled 10 times in a one of a kind copper micro still and then triple filtered resulting in a an ultra-smooth taste. An Award Winning Vodka, Wheatley has won Gold Medals for Best in Class, Best of Category, and Category Winner. It’s developed by a true craftsman at the World’s Most Award Winning Distillery. Wheatley Vodka is smooth enough to just sip over ice with hints of soft vanilla and provides the perfect foundation for mixing up delicious cocktails. Wheatley will now be in regular rotation on my bar cart!
I decided to make a drink that would be perfect for Christmas and New Year’s Eve – Holiday Vodka Sippers! These sippers are made with Wheatley Vodka, cranberry and pear juices, and is topped off with champagne. These sippers have just the right amount of sweetness without being too heavy and the red color is so festive for the holidays! Garnishes like cranberries and star anise also add that festive touch.
If you cannot find pear juice, you can swap it for orange juice if that is easier to find or if you prefer it. This recipe makes enough for two drinks. It can easily be doubled if you’d rather mix up a larger batch to keep chilled and ready for refills (which is obviously highly recommended).
