Nothing could be prettier or more festive than this delicious Sparkling Christmas Slush Drink! It is a super impressive drink to serve for dinner parties, holiday parties, bridal showers, or anything else you can dream up!

Sparkling Christmas Slush Drink

water

sugar

100% cranberry juice*

lemonade

orange juice

lemon (optional)

colored sugar (optional)

liters Cherry 7Up (Three 2 liter bottles)

cranberries (to garnish)

orange (to garnish)

In a large pot, combine 4 cups water with the sugar. Heat over high heat for 3-5 minutes, stirring until the sugar has dissolved completely.

Remove from heat and add the cranberry juice, frozen lemonade (don't make it into juice, just add it frozen), and the orange juice.

Stir until the lemonade is dissolved.

Pour the juice into two 9x13 inch casserole dishes or cake pans. Or any wide shallow dish will do.

Cover and freeze until solid, at least 3 hours or up to 1 week.

Meanwhile, sugar the rims of the glasses. Pour colored sugar into a small bowl or a plate. (Any color would be fun, but I love to do red sugar. Plain white sugar would be pretty, or yellow. Green would be festive for Christmas!)

Rub the rim of the glasses with the lemon slice. Dip the glass into the sugar, then set aside to let dry. It's great if you can do this an hour or so before serving, but it's not necessary. You can even do it the night before your party to save time.

When ready to serve, use a fork to break up chunks of the slush and add to each glass.

Pour Cherry 7Up in each glass.

Garnish with fresh cranberries and an orange slice, if desired.

Hennessy and Ginger is the right drink for any time of the day or evening. The spice of the ginger ale brings out the natural spice of Hennessy V.S.

These festive vanilla cookies make a beautiful edible Christmas tree decoration. Or, you could pack them into boxes to give as end-of-term gifts for teachers and friends.

Christmas cookies

icing sugar, sieved

tsp vanilla extract

butter,

plain flour, sieved

edible food colouring, optional

edible gold and silver balls

approx 2m thin ribbon cut into 10cm lengths

Tip the icing sugar, vanilla extract, egg yolk and butter into a mixing bowl, then stir together with a wooden spoon (or pulse in a food processor until well combined). Add the flour and mix to a firm dough. Shape the dough into two flat discs and wrap them. Chill for 20-30 mins. Heat oven to 190C/fan 170C/gas 5 and line two baking sheets with non-stick baking paper.

Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to about the thickness of two £1 coins. Cut out Christmassy shapes (use a cutter if you like) and place on the baking sheets. Using the tip of a skewer, cut a small hole in the top of each cookie. Bake for 10-12 mins until lightly golden.

Lift the biscuits onto a wire rack to cool. Meanwhile, mix the icing sugar with a few drops of cold water to make a thick, but still runny icing. Colour with edible food colouring, if you like. Spread it over the cooled biscuits, decorate with edible balls and thread with ribbon when dry.

MANGO BASIL LEMONADE COCKTAIL Recipe

ml lemon juice

Mango puree

Simple syrup

Top with soda

Forget playing bartender all night. This classic French 75 recipe is designed for hosting. We’ve batched the gin, fresh lemon, and syrup base so you can prep it ahead and simply top with Champagne when guests arrive. It has that perfect botanical snap of gin and the festive fizz of bubbly—without the fuss.

French 75 Cocktail (for a Crowd)

London Dry gin

lemon juice (preferably organic, strained)

simple syrup (or less to taste)

ice cubes

(750-ml) bottle Champagne (well chilled)

lemon zest (for garnish, preferably organic)

In a large pitcher or a large cocktail shaker, combine the 6 ounces London Dry gin, 6 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice, and 6 tablespoons simple syrup.If serving immediately, add plenty of ice cubes and stir (if using a pitcher) or shake (if using a shaker) until very cold.If making ahead,  don&#39;t add the ice. Instead, add 3 ounces of cold water to the batch (to account for the dilution you&#39;d usually get from shaking), cover the pitcher, and refrigerate for up to 24 hours.

Mix the gin base

Pour

Pour the chilled gin base evenly into 6 Champagne flutes (about 2 ounces per glass).

Top each glass with the 1 (750-ml) bottle Champagne. Pour slowly to avoid overflowing the foam.

Twist

Twist the 6 strips  lemon zest, one over each glass, to release the oils, then drop it into the drink. Serve immediately. Rinse and repeat!

Assemble the cocktails

This was a great way to celebrate New Year’s Eve and welcome in the new. The glasses arrived just in time for our celebration. I agree that stemless is the way to go. And the drinks were magnifique!
Happy New Year, David!

5 stars! Very happy NYE crowd!! Thanks so much for the recipe and all of the very helpful tips!

My favorite cocktail! And based on your recommendation we just ordered a set of stemless flute glasses. Cheers, David, and Happy New Year to you and The One!

Looks fantastic! I think we will try this New Year’s Eve! Thanks for sharing.

Thank so much and it happens that I’m French but not a big drinker although will enjoy making for company and I will have a little sip myself!
