Nicole got together with her friend Kari of Morris Kitchen to create these tasty cocktail ideas while the mood is festive. It's really nice to have a fancy welcome drink to serve up New Year's Eve, so hopefully these inspire you!

Blistered Cranberry Tequila Cocktail
2 oz Tequila
1/2 oz Preserved Lemon Syrup
1/2 oz Lemon Juice

Toss fresh cranberries in a dry pan on high heat until blistered and soft. Muddle cranberries in a shaker and shake all ingredients with ice. Strain into a rocks glass over a large ice cube and scoop some cranberry on top. Garnish with skewered cranberries.
