We don’t need to tell you that the holiday season can get a little crazy with all the Christmas parties and bar crawls that come with the season, but the good news is that A) it’s the most wonderful time of the year and B) it’s a great time to try out new drinks.
Enter Skyy Vodka’s new Coastal Cranberry flavor. Cranberry and vodkas are among the most popular cocktails ordered year round, so by removing the necessity for adding sugary cranberry juice Skyy is actually helping you keep off the pounds. And diabeetus.
Alternatively, you can work with the delicious cranberry flavor already infused in the Skyy Coastal Cranberry vodka and create some awesome cocktails. Check out these recipes below:
