I think one of my greatest joys is throwing a good party. While it can be exhausting it can also be exhilarating to create all the details. That’s why I simplify holiday celebrations with a signature cocktail like this Santa Hat Martini! The Pomegranate Martini is the perfect shade of Santa’s hat…and it tastes good too! Santa’s upside down hat is perfect for any holiday soiree to an Ugly Christmas Sweater Party; it will have guests Ho Ho Hoing for more than one! Cheers!

Pomegranate Martini
SUPPLIES
Thin Stem Martini Glasses 
INGREDIENTS
1.5 OZ. Pama Liqueur | 1 OZ. Vodka | .5 OZ. Cointreau | 1.5 OZ. Cranberry Juice
Combine all ingredients in a martini shaker. Add ice and shake vigorously. Strain into a martini glass.
Ingredients
- 1.5 OZ. Pama Liqueur
- 1 OZ. Vodka
- .5 OZ. Cointreau
- 1.5 OZ. Cranberry Juice
Instructions
- Combine all ingredients into a martini shaker. Add ice and shake vigorously. Strain into a martini glass.
Santa Hat Glass Instructions
1. Using your fingers, separate the pom until you find the center where it is bound together.
2. Place two or three glue dots around the top of the stem of the glass
3. Wrap pom pom around the glass placing a little glue at the edges of the pom. Squeeze together edges without gluing onto the glass.
4. Pom pom will be a little off-center, but that’s ok! {wink}
5. Melt chocolate, in small increments, using a microwave-safe dish stirring until smooth. Transfer the chocolate to a flat bottom bowl or plate. Dip the rim of the glass into the white chocolate covering the edges of the rim.
6. Carefully dip the melted chocolate rim into the nonpareils. Try not to touch the bottom of the plate with the glass. This causes the chocolate rub off and the nonpareils not to stick. Slowly push the nonpareils on edges of the rim to create the fluffy Santa hat trim. Let harden.

Those are just adorable! What fun to have a tray of theme as you welcome your guests at the door. You could do them with cranberry juice for kids as well…
