The holidays are in full swing and that can only mean one thing- time for holiday parties! Nothing is better than getting together with friends, old and new, and family you haven’t talked to all year. We decided to gather a list of our favorite holiday cocktail recipes and share them with you as our inaugural post.

First up is a Cranberry Orange Margarita, which is a delicious and refreshing cocktail, featuring one of my favorite Selzter brands- Spindrift.

• 2 ounces silver tequila
  1/2 ounce freshly squeezed orange juice
  1/2 ounce orange liquor or Cointreau
  1 ounce fresh lime juice
  1 tablespoon of sugar (to taste-the seltzer has no added sugar, hence why it’s a favorite!)
  Cranberry Raspberry Spindrift (any brand will suffice though)
  Ice
  Coarse salt for rims
  Fresh or frozen cranberries & orange peel for garnish

Add ice, tequila, orange juice, lime juice, Cointreau and sugar to shaker. Shake until cold. Pour into glasses over fresh ice, top with seltzer and garnish with berries and orange peel. Enjoy!

Next is a super yummy Christmas Sherbet Punch (which can easily be made as a mocktail for all the kiddos!)

• 3 cups vodka
  2 liter Hawaiian Punch
  2 liter Sprite
  46fl oz pineapple juice
  1 carton raspberry sherbet

Pour Hawaiian punch into 2 ice cube trays the night before. Save the remaining punch (this is optional but recommended). In a large bowl, pour punch, sprite, pineapple juice. Add punch ice cubes and raspberry sherbet. Let ice cubes and sherbet melt slightly to add more flavor
