Christmas (Cocktail'ing) in July

Before the beloved Chicago month of July ends (seriously, where is Summer going?), we wanted to pay homage to one of our fave times of year: Christmas in July. To celebrate, we’re mixing up a batch of some of our favorite holiday cocktails. Skip the egg nog and the heavy cream, these Christmakkuh concoctions are warm weather approved:

Jingle Juice
5 cups orange juice, 1 cup vodka, 1/3 cup Triple Sec, ¼ cup fresh lemon juice, ½ cup maraschino cherry juice. Shake and serve over ice.

Limoncello Libations
1 ½ oz. limoncello, ¾ oz. orange-flavored vodka and the juice of three lime wedges. Shake and serve over ice.

Cranberry Cosmos
½ cup cranberry vodka, ¼ cup Cointreau, 2 Tbsps lime juice. Shake and serve over ice. Note: the recipe actually calls for ½ cup cranberry liqueur, but we opt for the vodka, for obvious reasons. To each his/her own.

Champagne Cocktails
½ oz. Campari, ½ oz. fresh lemon juice, ½ oz. Triple Sec, 4 oz. prosecco.

White Cranberry Cocktail
Shake 2 oz. SKYY Infusions Citrus, 1 oz. Triple Sec and 1 oz. white cranberry juice over ice. Add a dash of Sprite. Serve over ice.
