Well, it is officially freezing out in New York City, and since it feels like we skipped Fall completely we are definitely getting into the Holiday spirit around here.  Which means.. time for some festive cocktails!

This beauty was inspired by spare ingredients we had lying around the studio and Seri's apartment.  Seri always has a bowl of clementines out for the boys to nosh on, and I looked at it the other day and realized that you never really see cocktails that use them as an ingredient.

So, I stole a few and came up with this.. the Clementine Pomegranate Spritzer!

Here is what you need: -gin -clementine juice -prosecco or other sparkling white wine -fresh clementines -thyme -ice

Here's what to do: 1) Fill each glass with ice.  Pour 1.5 oz. gin into each.

2) Fill the glass 3/4 of the way with clementine juice.  Top with club soda.

3) Garnish with fresh clementine slice, sprig of thyme and pomegranate seeds.

As you can see, it is super easy to make, and pretty stunning, if I do say so myself.  How perfect would this be to serve at a Christmas party?
