To start, fill a cocktail shaker with ice. Add in the vodka, cranberry juice, orange liqueur, lime juice, and simple syrup. Shake vigorously until well combined and chilled.
Next, take a chilled martini glass and rim it with sugar or crushed candy canes for an extra festive touch. Strain the cocktail into the glass and garnish with a few cranberries and a sprig of rosemary for a pop of color and flavor.
Feeling adventurous? Switch up the flavors by using different types of vodka such as vanilla, raspberry, or even peppermint. You can also add a splash of champagne for some extra bubbles and a touch of sweetness. For a non-alcoholic version, simply replace the vodka with sparkling water or juice.
A holiday martini is best served cold, so make sure to have plenty of ice on hand. You can also pre-make the cocktail and keep it chilled in the fridge until ready to serve. And don't forget to have some festive music playing in the background to set the mood!
This holiday martini recipe is not only delicious, but it also adds a touch of elegance and sophistication to any holiday gathering. So why not mix one up and impress your guests with your bartending skills? Cheers to a happy and martini-filled holiday season!
