A holiday cocktail with a spicy kick? Sign us up! This tangy, holiday take on a traditional cosmopolitan is the perfect add-on to festive gatherings with friends and family. The classic vodka, cranberry and lime drink gets an upgrade with some extra flavor, courtesy of one of the most popular peppers out there — the jalapeño. First, you make the juice by way of this awesome sauce recipe: Jalapeño cranberry sauce. This perky pepper combines swimmingly with the other ingredients, especially since it pairs so well with the flavor of cranberries. Jalapeño has a spicy essence for sure, but it’s also almost pleasantly fruit-like, and will make your cosmo truly sing.
