The holidays approach and it's time to bring out the festive and the beautiful cocktails. First up is he Gilroy Cocktail. It is one of those delicious and pretty cocktails that everyone at the party enjoys. The Gilroy Cocktail has one ingredient that gives it a deep ruby color and it's signature cherry flavor - Cherry Heering.
The Cosmopolitan Cocktail, or Cranberry Cosmo
Before a really big meal, I just want to whet my appetite, not spoil it. So, I usually just stick to wine and lighter cocktails. But if your in-laws are being particularly trying or you’ve had it up to here with TV commercials for Black Friday doorbusters, maybe it’s okay to make that drink a little bit stiffer. If you want a REAL cocktail, enjoy a Thanksgiving-themed Cosmopolitan or Margarita.
The Cosmopolitan Cocktail, or Cranberry Cosmo
The Cosmo is a classic cranberry & vodka cocktail. An older version from the 1930s actually uses gin instead of vodka, so that is definitely an option. Using a citrus-flavored vodka is a very popular version.
Ingredients

- 1/2 oz. fresh lime juice
- 1 oz. cranberry juice
Instructions
- Shake all the ingredients in a cocktail shaker filled with ice. Pour into a cocktail glass with a sugar rim and garnish with fresh cranberries and a lemon twist.
