A Very Stoli Christmas: Stolichnaya Holiday Recipes

Christmas is right around the corner, and keeping with the theme I’ve got another great selection of Holiday cocktail recipes for you and yours to enjoy this year. The trend for the Winter months usually involved heavy doses of rum, scotch, and whiskey/whisky but one thing that I hear often from consumers is that there aren’t enough holiday recipes that involve vodka with the exception of the cliche “holiday punch”. Oh don’t act like you don’t have the one friend that SWEARS he/she has the greatest holiday punch recipe only for you to taste it and realize it tastes just like every other punch you’ve had, also known as “office party punch”. If you don’t have that friend or co-worker then chances are YOU are that person. Don’t worry though, vodka, sprite/ginger ale, Hawaiian punch and other similar ingredients have their place. For those of you looking for something a little different, and slightly more creative while being equally delicious look no further then these wonderful Holiday recipes courtesy of Stolichnaya Vodka. Stolichnaya, “Stoli” for short just happens to be my vodka of choice: An authentic Russian vodka with an assortment of grades and flavors to give you exactly the taste you are looking for.
