These holiday-themed cocktail recipes will get your party in the swing of things!
SVEDKA is always ready for a holiday party, especially with their Vodka Soda Strawberry Lemonade cans. These pre-mixed drinks taste fantastic by themselves, but they also are a great addition to a recipe. SVEDKA’s You “Can” Go Big takes these cans and adds a twist!
"YOU “CAN” GO BIG1 Can SVEDKA RTD Strawberry Lemonade1 oz Grapefruit Juice.25 oz Honey10 Dashes Hot SauceCinnamon Sea Salt, to rimGarnish: Strawberry, Grapefruit, and Cinnamon Salted RimGlass: “Can”Ice: NoneRim the can with cinnamon salt by rolling the front of the can in grapefruit juice and then the salt.

SVEDKA”S Cherry Limeade vodka also lends itself beautifully to mixed drinks, such as this Most Wonderful Lime of the Year drink!

Espolon Tequila is always stocked in my house. It’s the perfect tequila to do shots with, or to mix up a cocktail with. Their smooth, balanced tequila is the perfect ingredient in this Marigold Margarita!
