Killer New Year's Eve Cocktail: Sunshine in Winter
Looking for some delicious and festive cocktails to mix for your New Year's Eve party? Try this Patch favorite!
—By Patch Staff
The key to the simple drink known as "Sunshine in Winter" is the use of a bright winter fruit that just looks ever-so-cute on the rim of a cocktail glass: the cumquat. For everyone that loves a fruity vodka drink, but wants to keep their cocktails seasonal, this one's for you.
- 2 oz vodka
- 1 oz simple syrup
- ½ oz fresh lime juice
- 3 cumquats
Place 2 cumquats into a mixing glass. Add lime juice and muddle until the cumquats burst open and smash against the bottom of the glass. Add the simple syrup and vodka. Shake vigorously for 10 seconds and strain into a chilled cocktail glass. Garnish with a one whole cumquat sliced almost halfway through so that it slides onto the rim of the glass.
Salud! Happy New Year!
