Lighten Up Holiday Cocktails with Crystal Light

I know that some of my readers like to enjoy a (responsible) holiday cocktail and Kraft sent me a few samples of Crystal Light and a few great holiday drink ideas that I wanted to share with all of you.


Its no secret that I love Pomegranate and Cranberry juices so a Pomegranate Cosmopolitan sounded pretty tasty to me. I may make these virgin and leave out the vodka and use club soda as suggested in the video of the recipe on the Kraft site but for now, here is the recipe:


Pomegranate Cosmopolitan

1 pkt. (makes 2 qt. drink) or 2 pkt. (makes 1 qt. drink each) CRYSTAL LIGHT Immunity Cherry Pomegranate Flavor Drink Mix*
1 qt.  (4 cups) water
1 cup vodka*
1 cup  light cranberry juice cocktail
1/4 cup lime juice
1/4 cup  orange juice
Ice cubes

Make It


STIR drink mix and water in large pitcher until mix is dissolved.
ADD remaining ingredients; mix well.
STRAIN into glasses. 

*For a Non-Alcoholic Version
Omit vodka and substitute 1 cup of club soda
