Sugar Plum Spritz

I love finding holiday items at Trader Joes and when I saw their “Sugar Plum Beverage” I knew I had to buy it and use it in a cocktail. It’s not very sweet — so this cocktail is very refreshing and be be made with or without the simple syrup. I prefer it! If you like holiday cocktails, check out the pomegranate gimlet I made a few years back. I also made a reel (video) making the cocktail, check it out here! Happy Holidays!

Ingredients (Serves 2)

Trader Joe’s Sugar Plum Beverage
3 oz gin
1 oz simple syrup
Rosemary (for garnish)
Fresh pomegranate seeds
Ice

Directions

In a cocktail shaker or mixing glass full of ice, add sugar plum juice, gin, and simple syrup. Shake/stir for a few minutes.
Add the pomegranate seeds to two glasses (I got these adorable snowman glasses), strain the mixer over the glasses. Garnish with rosemary!
Tip: if you need to make a virgin one, just add sprite/seltzer instead of gin!
