Winter Solstice Cocktail

Getting tired of the cold? We are too! But, with approximately one month of this chilly weather to go, there are still some seasonal cocktails to be enjoyed!   

Winter Solstice Cocktail
 
 
Ingredients:
1 1/2 ounces of orange vodka
1/2 ounce orange flavored liqueur, such as Cointreau
1/2 ounce freshly squeezed lemon juice
Ice cubes
Club soda (chilled)
1 mint leaf and a raspberry for garnish
 
Directions:
Combine vodka, orange liqueur, lemon juice, and ice in a cocktail shaker and shake until everything is mixed together well.
Strain into a chilled martini glass and add a splash of soda.
Carefully fold the mint leaf in half lengthwise and place the stem end into the opening of the raspberry. Float on top of the cocktail and serve instantly.
