The holidays are almost here so why not get in the festive spirit with a delicious winter sea breeze holiday cocktail recipe?!
It is hands-down my favorite holiday cocktail and a great way to kick off the holidays and get ready for Christmas celebrations.
It’s bright, bubbly, tangy, and crisp, plus the pomegranate seeds and spring of mint give it a festive Christmas feel. If you’re looking for a signature holiday cocktail, I recommend you try this!
Fill your glass about 3/4 full with ice. A lowball glass is a perfect size.
Step 2:
Add the vodka, grapefruit juice, tonic syrup* and stir.
Step 3:
Pour in the soda water and garnish with the pomegranate seeds and mint leaves.
*Tonic is one of my favorite cocktail mixers, and I love that there are now artisanal tonic syrups.
I recommend using a syrup because it’s not too sweet and has a little more complexity of flavor.
If you don’t have tonic syrup, you can always substitute 1/4 cup regular tonic for the soda water and syrup. I might add a little extra grapefruit juice just to balance it out.

Hi! I am excited about making this drink for a party tonight. Can you please clarify the amount of tonic syrup used? The recipe calls for half an ounce but it also says 2 tablespoons (which is a full ounce). Thanks so much!!

Yes, is it 2 Tablespoons or or half an ounce of the tonic syrup? Also can you make this up a pitcher at a time?

Jack Rudy tonic syrup is awesome. And for anyone else wondering, I'd use 1/2 and ounce of the syrup. Should be 1 TB.
