Cindy Lou Hou


Our favorite holiday drink to serve our guests. Your guests will be impressed when you finish it off with the drops of douglas fir tincture. Watch the video on how to make the tincture, it's suprisingly easy to make if you have a whipped cream canister!. If not, you can skip this part (still yummy, but less wow factor!)

  • Cindy Lou Who 

    • 2 oz Citrus Liquor (St Georges Citrus Vodka) 

    • ½ oz simple syrup

    • ½ oz lemon or lime juice  

    • Top with Prosecco or Cava 

    • 3 drops of Douglas Fir Vodka/Tincture 

 

Shake vodka, simple syrup and lemon juice in a shaker with ice.  Pour cubed ice into a tall Collins glass.  Pour vodka mixture over ice cubes.  Top with bubbly, pour in drops of douglas fir vodka and give a quick stir.

I like to freeze cranberries in an ice tray to make it more festive and serve with a red/white straw or stirrer.

Mia Cocktail

  Mia Cocktail This drink was created so Mia could enjoy a festive drink anytime we had an occasion for celebrating.   We started making it for her when she was about 5 years old and it has stood the test of time!  Love you Mia! Tangerine Juice (sweeter than regular orange juice, Trader Joe's has it!) Rose's Grenadine Bubbly water (any kind is fine) Pour Tangerine juice into festive glass, pour a bit of grenadine on top, it will make a pretty layer and then sink to bottom.  Top with bubbly water to give a bit of a fizz.  Give a quick and light stir so as not to mess up the layers too much. Adult versions: Add some citrus vodka and/or substitute Prosecco for the bubbly water   Fun and festive!
