Winter Holidays are my favourite, partially because I LOVE hosting.
I can’t wait to have a yummy Holiday spread and for everyone to get festive. I love decorating my house and creating a tablescape.
But my signature move to get the party hopping is to have a signature holiday cocktail, something to set the evening apart and get people talking.
If you are strapped for ideas for a signature holiday cocktail for your Christmas dinner or New Years party, look no further! Pure Leaf and me have you covered.
Iced tea can add such a pleasant twist to a regular cocktail by making it taste new and exciting, you will have everyone wondering how you did it. My favourite iced tea is by Pure Leaf.
This year I’ll be serving a Lemon Orange Mimosa (so perfect for a Holiday toast) and a Berry Iced Tea Punch.
