Below are the two cocktails featured on that segment. Now you can make these two delicious cocktails at home this holiday season! Check out the recipes below!

Santa’s Little Helper

1 1/2 oz Clique Vodka
1/2 oz cream
1 oz candy cane syrup*

Rim a cocktail glass by dipping the rim in a small pool of candy cane syrup, and then dip in crushed candy canes. Shake Clique Vodka, cream and candy cane syrup over ice and strain into the glass.
*For the candy cane syrup, crush 12 candy canes and melt in 1 cup of boiling water.

Expert Tip: to crush the candy canes, just put then in a baggie, and roll with a rolling pin.

Holly Berry

1 1/4 oz Cranberry Infused Clique Vodka*
6 mint leaves
1 wedge of lime
5 oz soda water
Shake cranberry infused Clique Vodka, mint leaves, and squeezed lime wedge over ice and strain into a tall glass with fresh ice. Top with soda water and garnish with cranberries and mint sprig.
*For the cranberry infused Clique Vodka, just cut 6 oz of fresh cranberries in half and cover with 1 bottle of Clique Vodka for 2-3 days.

Expert Tip: Hold the mint sprig in your palm, and smack it firmly with your other hand to push the aromatic oils through the leaves before garnishing.
