I have a fun post for you today that includes mocktails and a giveaway. Ok, so maybe it would be a bit more fun if the drink was a cocktail, but hey, I haven't had a drink in about 7 months so it's all about the mocktail for me these days.The Cranberry Kiss mocktail is something I whipped up with the holidays and New Years Eve in mind. The key ingredient is Sierra Mist Natural, which gives it those festive bubbles! Pretty, aren't they?
Cranberry Kiss (Mocktail)
Ingredients:
• 2 oz. Sierra Mist Natural
• 2 ½ oz. cranberry juice
• 1 mint leaf
• Fresh lime juice (about 1/4 of a lime)
Directions:
1. In a martini shaker, muddle one mint leaf with lime juice
2. Add cranberry juice to the shaker; shake well and strain into a champagne glass
3. Top with Sierra Mist Natural
4. Garnish with three cranberries skewered on a toothpick
Now for the giveaway...Sierra Mist and I would like you to share a creative cocktail/mocktail recipe. One winner will receive a Sierra Mist Natural holiday gift pack which includes:

I've made a mocktail with Sierra Mist and orange juice. Very tasty, kind of like a virgin mimosa.

This looks really good. I would mix Sierra Mist, ice tea, vodka and a wedge of a peach. (Could use Peach Schnapps instead of vodka)
ReplyDeletejust_monkeying_around_333(at)yahoo(dot)com
I have never really anything other than orange juice and vodka. So maybe Sierra Mist, orange juice, and vodka? Or scratch the vodka.

You need to try sierra mist with tequila (patron)and granberry juice and mint
ReplyDeleteI would absolutely love to try Sierra Mist muddled with blackberries and mint, and topped off with some vanilla flavored vodka for a sweet and fruity new year's treat! <3 In fact, I might just run out to the store to make some right now!
ReplyDeleteI would like to see all of these on a tray together.
ReplyDeleteHere's my citrus slush recipe..:
ReplyDelete10 ice cubes
1/4 t. Crystal Light lemonade mix
3 oz. Sierra Mist
1/3 c. frozen mango chunks
1/2 T. lime juice
Combine all ingredients in a blender and blend until the ice cubes have been crushed. Pour into a serving glass and garnish with a wedge of lime. If you prefer your drink less thick, add an extra splash of the Sierra Mist.

This is a super easy punch recipe that is always a hit.
ReplyDelete2 liter of Sierra Mist

It's so simple but tastes so good!

I like to mix Sierra Mist with vodka and orange juice
ReplyDeleteelena150980@yahoo.com
1 cup fresh lime juice (it's about 10-12 limes depending on their size)
ReplyDelete5 cups Sierra Mist
3 tablespoons honey
up to 1/3 cup sugar as you like
mix all that goodness up and serve in 12oz glasses. it's delicious with or without a shot of tequila!
This looks so yummy! I can't wait to try it! I don't drink so I'm thinking a mocktail, with Sierra Mist, which I love all by itself but mixed with peppermint (maybe even a some crushed candy canes around the rim :)
ReplyDeleteYum! I like to mix Sunny D, pineapple juice, vodka, Sierra mist,and ice and garnish with a slice of orange. Delicious. Kristi. Kmwsown@Yahoo.com
ReplyDeleteAll the recipes you posted look fantastic! I'm going to a New Year's party at the home of a friend who doesn't drink, and promised to try new mocktail recipes for her, so this is perfect timing. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI'm a big fan of a Tom Collins so I was thinking of an alcohol-free variant where you use Sierra Mist, Tonic (for bitter flavor), and lime garnish.
I'd love Sierra Mist, pomegranate juice, and pineapple juice!
