Tips for Making the Perfect Poinsettia Cocktail

- **Choose fresh ingredients.** The fresher the ingredients, the better your cocktail will taste. This is especially important for the cranberries and lime juice. - **Use good quality cranberry juice.** Not all cranberry juices are created equal. Look for a juice that is 100% cranberry juice and has no added sugar. - **Be careful not to over-muddle the cranberries.** Muddling the cranberries too much will release their bitter flavor. Just a few twists of the muddler is enough. - **Shake the cocktail vigorously.** This will help to combine the ingredients and create a smooth, frothy texture. - **Serve the cocktail immediately.** The poinsettia cocktail is best enjoyed fresh. ###
