Every holiday dinner celebration needs to have a fabulous holiday cocktail that uses natural ingredients like juices and naturally flavored sodas and liquors. That is why I have developed three recipes inspired on my favorite cocktails that I have enjoyed at restaurants and bars during my travels but with my own twist. I invite you to meet my Holiday Cocktail recipes so easy to make and super refreshing!
Zevia Paloma
Organic tequila I discovered this year and I love to prepare margaritas with it yet there is a cocktail that I enjoyed on my last trip to Mexico City “Paloma”. A cocktail that uses grapefruit juice soda, lime juice and tequila blanco. It is a fruity drink with a great fizz so taking this flavor profile I develop my own version that I have called Zevia Paloma a delicious holiday cocktail recipe!
INGREDIENTS
- 2 ounces of organic tequila blanco
- 2 1/2 ounces of cold grapefruit juice
- 1/2 ounce of Meyer lemon juice
- 3 ounces of cold Zevia Zero Calorie Soda grapefruit flavor
- 1 Meyer lemon cut in rounds
- Ice
Preparation time: Less than 5 minutes. Makes one cocktail approximately eight ounces.
Add ice to a glass, then the tequila, the grapefruit juice and the Meyer lemon juice, stir. Pour the cold Zevia Zero Calorie Soda grapefruit flavor and decorate with a lemon round. Serve immediately.
This Zevia Paloma doesn’t disappoint has the perfect balance of citrus and fizz and honors well the original Paloma cocktail from Mexico.
Zevia Pomegranate Screwdriver
One of my favorite drinks form the 80s was the screwdriver so taking this original and oldie as an inspiration I have created what I have called a Zevia Pomegranate Screwdriver.
INGREDIENTS
- 2 ounces of organic vodka
- 3 ounces of freshly squeezed Valencia orange juice
- 3 ounces of cold Zevia Zero Calorie Soda lemon-lime flavor
- 1 teaspoon or pomegranate seeds
- 1 orange cut in rounds
- 1 yellow lemon cut in rounds
- Ice
Preparation time: Less than 5 minutes. Makes one cocktail approximately eight ounces.
Add ice to a glass, then the vodka, the orange juice and stir. Pour the cold Zevia Zero Calorie Soda lemon-lime flavor, add the pomegranate seeds and decorate with a lemon round and an orange round. Serve immediately.
This Zevia Pomegranate Screwdriver is festive, uses seasonal ingredients like the oranges and the pomegranate and has less calories than the original screwdriver.
Zevia Moscow Mule
The Moscow Mule cocktail is trendy and so fashionable that is why I decided to add in this line up for holiday cocktail recipes yet again using my own twist. There is nothing nicer than serving a trendy cocktail to your guests when entertaining at home they will be so impressed!
INGREDIENTS
- 2 ounces of vodka
- 1/2 ounce lime juice
- 3 ounces of cold natural ginger beer
- 3 ounces of cold Zevia Zero Calorie Soda ginger ale flavor
- 1 mint floret
- 1 lemon round
- Ice
Preparation time: Less than 5 minutes. Makes one cocktail approximately eight ounces.
Add ice to a glass, then the vodka and the lime juice and stir. Pour the cold natural ginger beer and then pour the Zevia Zero Calorie Soda ginger ale flavor. Decorate with a lemon round and a mint floret. Serve immediately.
If you like the flavor of the ginger beer this is a must try. I had this cocktail for the first time in my recent trip to Seattle at the Edgewater lobby bar. What a treat! I used same flavor profile to create my own version of a Moscow mule using Zevia Zero Calorie Soda.
You can find Zevia Zero Calorie at Whole Foods at the chips and soda aisle. Zevia Zero Calorie Soda is naturally flavored with stevia plant and available in fifteen different yummy flavors such as cola, lemon-lime, grape, orange, ginger root beer, ginger ale, grapefruit, cherry cola, cream soda, mountain Zevia just to mention a few. Let your creativity flow and develop your own drinks this holiday you could be in for a treat!
