Holly Jolly

This is a holiday favorite! The St. Germain give a gentle sweetness while the blood orange juice provides a rich zesty citrus base for the cocktail. We highly recommend blood orange juice but it's usually hard to find and available only in the winter months, so if you can't find it squeezed clementine juice is recommended. Only go to packaged orange juice as a last resort.
