Holiday Drink Recipe - Sparkling Gin Cocktail

It’s the holidays, and what better way to ring in the new year than with a delicious cocktail! Moms, we have graduated from drinking vodka sodas to making complex and elevated creations. This one not only is delicious and easy, it also uses some of my favourite herbs to add freshness to every sip.

Everything about New Years should be sparkling! From your outfit, to your smile, and to your holiday beverage. There is always room to add sparkles to your holiday celebrations. Whether you are celebrating solo or with close family and friends, here is a cocktail sure to impress yourself, your partner, and your mom friends.

• 1/2oz Fresh Lemon Juice

• 1oz Sparkling Water or Champagne

4) Add in 1/2oz simple syrup, 2oz gin and crushed ice.

5) Shake well!
