The Christmas Cranapple-Tini is just bursting with wonderful fruit flavors of the holiday season! Apple and cranberry juices combined with vanilla vodka are nicely tart and sweet when combined and the Sugared Cranberries give it that special holiday touch for a garnish!

As a special bonus I have also posted a favorite Christmas Martini Recipe from last year's line up, Santa's Cookies and Milkatini - if you love Oreos this is the holiday martini for you:

PEPPERMINT PATTY - Hot Cocoa and Peppermint Rocks!


Though the PEPPERMINT PATTY is not a martini I just had to post the cocktail recipe for this warm and minty hot cocoa treat! It's called a Peppermint Patty and is just delicious for sipping in front of a warm fire after a day of ice skating, skiing or reading a good book all tucked up in your favorite chair!

The classic Peppermint Patty is so easy - just grab a couple packets of your favorite instant hot cocoa, prepare according to the package and then stir in a nice dash of peppermint schnapps or other peppermint liqueur. Pop a cute little mini candy cane in (some great chocolate ones are made by Hersheys and can be found at Walmart!)

I like to do mine this way:

CHRISTMAS COSMOPOLITAN - Cranberry Christmas Martini

THE CHRISTMAS COSMOPOLITAN RECIPE
Updated November 19, 2015

The Cosmopolitan goes Christmas with the addition of a fun garnish of Sugared Cranberries. Cosmos are a great holiday martini because they are cranberry based in flavor, making them the perfect cocktail for your holiday buffet or Christmas party.

The addition of Sugared Cranberries - recipe at The Diva of Tiny Foods - adds a festive holiday touch and some additional sweetness to balance the tart cranberry flavor.

Serve these with my Baked Cranberry Brie from the Diva of Tiny Foods and have a Berry Merry Christmas Cocktail Hour!

Hot Apple Martini: Mulled Cidertini for the Holidays

The Mulled Cidertini is a Christmas version of a spiced apple martini which can be served either hot or cold! If you serve this hot I suggest you use mugs instead of your delicate martini glasses though!

This spicy apple flavored martini is one of my most popular Holiday martinis. To me it brings back memories of ice skating parties with hot apple cider to drink while you flirted with your latest crush. Very nostalgic and comforting at the same time!

Serve these up with some of my cheese appetizers and finger foods - just hop over to The Diva of Tiny Foods and do a search for cheese!

CANDY CANE MARTINI - Christmas, Holiday Martini #2

http://themartinidiva.com 
The
CANDY CANE MARTINI RECIPE
has moved here.
 
 The Candy Cane Martini is a peppermint flavored martini that brings back those Christmas memories of sitting on Santa's lap and whispering your Christmas List in his ear as a child. When that jolly old man asked you if you were "naughty or nice" you had to think about it for a minute because he knew when you'd been good or bad! If you were good a tiny little red and white candy cane was your reward!

You were good this year, right?

Well then, Ho, Ho, Ho - this holiday martini is my reward for you being good all year!
