A Holiday Tradition
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I make these every year for my Holiday Cookie Exchange...they are expected and anticipated! I usually don't do the orange... zest...I use a drop or two of Boyajian Pure Orange Oil and garnish with frozen cranberries. YUM!Read more

Raspberries?
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I'm confused - this recipe for the Poinsetta Cocktail doesn't include raspberries... I've tried this one - it is yummy and... pretty!Read more

Delicious
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This was really yummy, all my guests loved it too. Also, I think it would make a great "quick" sangria by adding some orange... slices and cherries. I'm going to try that next time.Read more

Too many seeds
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

It had too many seeds from the raspberries. Otherwise it was very tasty and a big hit. I'd strain the raspberries next time
