A Grinch - Tastic Christmas Beverage

What is your favorite Holiday movie? Whether it's Elf, Home Alone, or The Grinch, they all have one thing in common. They involve a green Christmas!With that as our main inspiration, we want to present the first step in our Bakell Christmas. 

Here's what you'll need for your Grinch-Tastic Christmas:

• GREEN IRIDESCENT BREW GLITTER
• GOLD STAR EDIBLE SHIMMER SHAPES
• MELON LIQUEUR
• LEMON JUICE
• SIMPLE SYRUP
• MARASCHINO CHERRIES

Did you know that the Grinch was not originally the lovable green monster we know and love today? He was actually a black and white monster with red bits and pink eyes! It wasn't until the director of the animated film decided that he would be all green, that he became the monster we know today.  

Now- onto the drink!

Gather all of your ingredients together as well as a cocktail shaker to prepare the drink. Pour two ounces of the melon liqueur, half an ounce of lemon juice and one teaspoon of simple syrup into the shaker. Then, fill the rest of the shaker up with ice.

Before we pour the drink in, take some time to add a little glamour to the glass. Rim your glass with some of the simple syrup and allow it to dry so it thickens. Sprinkle the Gold Star Edible Shimmer Shapes onto the simple syrup so the stars rim the glass beautifully. 

While that sets, prep the rest of the drink! 

Shake the drink well and strain it into a chilled cocktail glass. Before you pour it in, add in 1/8 teaspoon of Green Iridescent Brew Glitter to the bottom of the glass. The chilled glass matched with the iridescence will make a cool drink, and also give it a snow globe like look. 

Even though the drink already looks amazing, we're going to garnish it with a double-stacked cherry for an extra pop!

Being one of our favorite drinks on the Christmas menu this Holiday season, we just had to share it with you. And we'll probably watch the movie again, while we're at it!

From Bakell to you and your family, have a Merry Christmas!
