Brighten up holiday parties with simple, pretty cocktails
November 19, 2008
The perfect holiday cocktail is easy to assemble in crowd-pleasing quantities, attractive and goes down smooth. This Poinsettia cocktail from Valerie Peterson's entertainingly irreverent Peterson's Holiday Helper (Clarkson Potter, $16.95) is the perfect fit.
To make simple syrup, simmer 1½ cups sugar and 1 cup of water until the sugar is dissolved, then cool.
