We call this festive holiday cocktail “Holly Berries” because it is a bright red color reminiscent of holly berries. While it tastes like fruit punch, Holly Berries is definitely not for children. A word of caution: this cocktail is easy to drink quickly, as it is so smooth. However, like the holidays and cheap underwear, it will sneak up on you when you least expect it. The first time we made Holly Berries, we didn’t realize how strong it was until we had finished off a pitcher with some friends. Please learn from our mistake. A great thing about this recipe is it’s so easy to make that even after a few drinks, you can still make another pitcher if necessary.

Holly Berries will get you in the holiday spirit quickly. Please drink responsibly.
