Warm Up this Winter with Ketel One Vodka Cocktails

Winter is coming and so are some new libations! Everything from warming spirits to warm cocktails, the colder months bring a plethora of new offerings from Ketel One Vodka that we would love to get on your radar in case you are working on any cocktail roundups for holiday entertaining.

The ‘Tis the Teason cocktail is a warm serve with a mix of sweet and sour thanks to earl gray tea, orange juice, lemon juice and homemade brown sugar syrup.
Bloody Marys are perfect all year long, but for this season in particular, Ketel One Vodka loves to serve up the Winter Mary featuring beet juice and spices such as nutmeg and cloves.
The Twizzle resembles everything we love about the winter with its crushed ice and cinnamon stick garnish.

Plus, for super simple holiday entertaining, Diageo also has its new ready-to-serve cocktails from The Cocktail Collection now available on Drizly – all you need to do is chill, open and pour. Enjoy!

Ingredients

1.5 oz Ketel One Vodka

3 oz Earl Grey Tea

.5 oz Fresh Squeezed Orange Juice

.25 oz Lemon Juice

12 oz Ketel One Vodka

24 oz Earl Grey Tea

4 oz Fresh Squeezed Orange Juice

2 oz Lemon Juice

Method

Heat up and prep the tea first. For every 12 oz of water, use 2 earl grey tea bags. Create the tea and allow the tea bags to over steep for about 10 minutes.

In a pot, add all of the ingredients (including the nutmeg) and allow it to sit on low for 5 – 10 minutes until hot.

Serve in a mug and place the lemon wheel and orange peel into the glass for garnish.

PRO TIP: If making this delicious hot punch for a group, prep the tea earlier in the day and once steeped and cooled, combine all of the ingredients into a pitcher and place in the fridge. Store up to 24 hours before serving and place onto the stovetop 30 to warm before serving.
