Do you associate the holiday season with cozy sweaters and roaring fires? Or bathing suits and beach time?

‍

Personally, I’ve only ever spent the holidays in the Northern Hemisphere where cozy sweaters and roaring fires are definitely part of the equation. But after traveling to Brazil this month and experiencing a bit of Christmas spirit there, I got a taste of what it was like to celebrate Christmas during the summertime!

‍

So although tropical drinks aren’t typically what most of us “up north” associate with the holidays, this Christmas cocktail is for the roughly 15% of you in the world who are currently soaking up some sun and sipping tipples poolside!

‍

For me, nothing says warm weather and tropical vibes quite like passion fruit. It’s just one of those flavors that evokes island vibes, so I’ve made it the star of the show in this drink! Fruity, a touch sweet, and extremely easy drinking, this is a cocktail that’s sure to ignite the holiday cheer.

Ingredients:

1 oz Coconut Rum ‍

1 ½ oz Passion Fruit Liqueur

1 oz Lime Juice

½ oz Orgeat

Splash of Sparkling Wine

Garnish: Lime twist

Instructions:

Combine all ingredients except the sparkling wine in a cocktail shaker filled with ice and shake until cold. Strain into a coupe glass, top with sparkling wine, and garnish.

‍

Recipe Notes:

For a tarter drink, you can substitute White Rum for Coconut Rum – both are delicious! You can also leave out the bubbles if you’re not a sparkling wine fan, it’s there more for fizz and festivity than for flavor.
