A fun Christmas cocktail featuring cranberry Red Bull, vodka, orange & allspice liqueurs, then topped with a marshmallow Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer garnish.
This time of year is filled with so many parties and get-togethers that I always feel challenged to come up with new seasonal cocktails. You guys liked my Irish Trash Can so much that I thought I’d put a Christmas spin on it with this Rudolph the Red Bull Cocktail.
It’s a super fun drink that will help you rock around the Christmas tree all night long! The marshmallow Rudolph garnish is almost too adorable to eat.
Ingredients
- Cranberry Red Bull
- Vodka
- Orangecello
- Allspice Liqueur
- Marshmallows
- Cloves
- Rosemary
- Cranberry
Cranberry and vodka are a common pairing, so it was easy to choose that as the base alcohol. To add some seasonal flair, I also used a little Orangecello and allspice liqueurs. If you don’t have Orangecello and don’t want to buy any, you could substitute something like Grand Marnier or triple sec.
A little of the allspice liqueur goes a long way, so make sure to measure it out. You want to add a subtle taste of it, not have it be the dominant flavor of your cocktail.
