LWC - Christmas Cocktail: Santa's Hat

Lisa's Weekly Coffee

Christmas Cocktail: Santa's Hat
Santa's Hat makes a fun and festive Holiday cocktail. I just love the Cranberry juice together with the rum and grenadine in this drink it's a perfect combination of sweetness and tart. The glass rim coated with coconut flakes is simply a magical sweetness.

Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons powdered sugar
• 1 Teaspoon water
• 1/4 Cup sweetened, flaked coconut
• 3 oz. red cranberry juice
• 1 oz. Malibu Rum
• 1/2 oz. grenadine
• 1 candy cane

Directions

• Mix together powdered sugar and water until smooth.
• Fold a paper towel into a 4-inch square and lay it on a saucer.
• Spread the powdered sugar mixture on top of the towel on the saucer.
• Spread coconut in a shallow layer on another saucer.
• Dip the rim of a Martini glass in the sugar mixture on the towel until the rim is coated.
• Then, dip the sugared rim into the coconut. Use a spoon to pack the coconut on to the sugar coating so it stays on the rim.
• Add the cranberry juice, Malibu rum and grenadine into a cocktail shaker with ice.
• Shake and strain into a prepared Martini glass and serve.
• Garnish with a candy cane. Break off the top hook of the candy cane if desired.
