Frozen Raspberry Sparkle
This Frozen Raspberry Sparkle is the official Holiday cocktail in my house. You’ve guessed it right! Yes, I am the one who made it official. Why not? I’m sure we all can use a cocktail in between all these crazy holiday shopping and baking chaos. Besides, it’s a festive and beautiful drink that you can serve during the holiday gatherings. Best of all, it’s super easy to prepare.
I love the frosted look of these frozen raspberries. They are just so pretty to look at. I freeze up some extras and they made a wonderful snack on their own. Plus a few of them in your drink will keep your cocktail nice and chilled without diluting your drink with the ice. Pretty cool, huh?
I can’t believe Christmas will be here in less than a week! So, how far are you with the holiday shopping and preparation? Are you all prepared, almost done, half way through, or haven’t even started yet? I think I belong to the 'almost done' group, I guess. I would love to hear from you.
