With the party season officially here and New Year’s Eve just a few weeks away (even we can’t believe how quickly the year has gone!), it’s safe to say that no celebration is complete without an incredible drinks menu. Here at Absolute Collagen, we’ve created a list of deliciously festive cocktails, which have been infused with a special ingredient – collagen! So, not only do you get a selection of delectable drinks, but you can benefit from your daily dose of collagen too.
Grab the cocktail shaker out and let’s get in the Christmas spirit(s).
Christmas Rum Punch
This festively fruity cocktail really packs a punch, with an abundance of sweet and sour flavours. To make this indulgent cocktail you will need:
Ingredients (Serves 6):
170 ml Bacardi Añejo Cuatro Rum
170 ml Pineapple juice
170 ml Orange juice
50 ml Lime juice
2 x Absolute Collagen Mango & Mandarin sachets
1 tbsp Almond syrup
6 x Orange slices
6 x Mint sprigs or peppermint candy canes
Ice
Instructions:
Grab your cocktail shaker and add in all the liquid ingredients. Shake well until it is fully blended and has a slight frothy finish. Pour into highball glasses and drizzle a light layer of almond syrup over the top. For garnish, add a fresh orange slice and mint sprig, or for a festive touch switch out the mint sprig for a peppermint candy cane.
Colla-gin & Tonic
For those who love a classic G&T with a citrus centric core, this is the perfect cocktail for you.
Ingredients: (Serves 4)
60 ml Fresh lemon juice
100 ml Hendricks London Dry Gin
1 x Absolute Collagen Lemon Sachet
60 ml Chambord
60 ml Sugar syrup
Tonic water
Lemon slice
Ice
Add the ice, syrup, gin, chambord and Absolute Collagen into a cocktail shaker and shake for 7-10 seconds until chilled. In your gin glass, pour the tonic water over some ice and strain in the mixture. Garnish with a fresh lemon slice for that extra tangy twist.
Have A Merry Berry Christmas
Lastly, we have a cocktail for those who love a fresh berry burst with the Absolute Collagen Raspberry supplement.
Ingredients (Serves 2):
90 ml of Belvedere Vodka
50 ml Raspberry puree
1 x Absolute Collagen Raspberry Sachet
10 ml Lemon juice
10 ml Sugar syrup
Soda water
Sugared cranberries
Ice
Instructions:
Fill your cocktail shaker with ice. Add in the vodka, raspberry puree, Absolute Collagen sachet, lemon juice and sugar syrup and shake generously. Fill your glass with ice cubes and strain the mixture until the halfway mark. Top up the rest of the glass with soda water. Garnish with two sugared cranberries for a fun, festive flair.
These cocktails are also ideal to make as mocktails too, simply switch out the spirit for a non-alcoholic spirit and they will taste just as good.
And there we have it, a festively fun selection of Christmas cocktails that will get everyone talking.
