Ingredients

Instructions

  • Rub a lime wedge along the rim of a cocktail glass and dip the rim into sugar on a plate to coat.
  • Fill the glass with ice.
  • In a shaker, combine cranberry juice, tequila, orange liqueur, and peppermint extract. Shake for 15 seconds.
  • Pour the mixture into the glass and top with raspberry seltzer water.
  • Sprinkle crushed candy cane on top and hang a candy cane on the rim for garnish.

Notes

Pro Tips
  • For an extra festive touch, use colored sugar or crushed candy cane for rimming instead of plain sugar.
  • Adjust the peppermint extract based on your taste preference, but use sparingly, as it can quickly overpower the drink.
  • Chill your cocktail glass beforehand for an even frostier experience.
