CHRISTMAS COSMOPOLITAN

Steps:

• Put all the ingredients into a cocktail shaker or jar.
• Shake well to thoroughly combine the ingredients and ensure they are chilled. Strain into a martini glass or another glass of your choice.
• Serve with a garnish if you wish. I like orange peel, a twist of lime and sometimes a sprig of rosemary for a festive touch!

CRANBERRY COSMO PUNCH

Steps:

• For the mulled cranberry juice: Combine the cranberry juice, brown sugar, cloves, star anise and cinnamon in a medium saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, then reduce to medium-low and simmer for 30 minutes. Let cool to room temperature before placing in the refrigerator to cool completely. Strain just before using.
• For the punch: Combine the vodka, triple sec and 4 1/2 cups of the mulled cranberry juice in a large punch bowl over ice or a juice ice mold (see Cook's Note). Stir to combine. Garnish with the orange twist if using.

SPARKLING COSMO PUNCH

Steps:

• Fill a martini pitcher or jar halfway with ice, then stir together the cranberry juice, gin, orange liqueur and lime juice. Strain into another pitcher and keep chilled.
• To serve, fill a flute three-quarters of the way with the cranberry base. Top with the cava and drop in an orange garnish.
