I don’t know about you, but I’m always looking for new cocktails to whip up during the holiday season. There are so many creative recipes out there and fun ways to jazz up the classic cocktails to make them more fun and festive.

There’s one cocktail recipe that’s great for holiday parties, as not only is it delicious, but it’s reminiscent of everyone’s favorite big man in the red suit and looks adorable. It’s Santa’s Strawberry Smash!

It’s a cocktail perfect for those who love tropical, summery flavors even in the wintertime and is guaranteed to bring on some smiles.

Here’s how to make it!

Santa’s Strawberry Smash

Ingredients:

1 1/2 ounces of coconut milk
1/2 ounce of gin
1/2 ounce of lime juice
1/2 ounce of simple syrup
1 large strawberry
Extra strawberries, large and mini marshmallows, and a long tooth (for garnish)

To make Santa’s Strawberry Smash for your next holiday event, begin by adding coconut milk, gin, lime juice, and simple syrup to a cocktail shaker with ice.

Then, put the lid on and give everything a good shake for at least 10 to 15 seconds.

Next, take one large strawberry and muddle it at the bottom of your chosen drinking glass until it’s all jammy, giving your drink a bright red bottom.

Then add some ice to your glass and strain the cocktail from your mixer.

Santa’s Strawberry Smash is not complete until you’ve got a proper Santa hat garnish. You can make it by slicing the hull off a strawberry until it has a flat base.

Next, cut a thin strip off a large marshmallow and flatten it with something heavy to make the base of Santa’s hat.

Stick your round marshmallow base onto your long toothpick, followed by the flat end of your strawberry.

Finally, stick your mini marshmallow right on top of the pointed end of your strawberry to complete your tiny Santa hat! How cute is that?

Once your Santa hat garnish is complete, stick the bare end of your toothpick into your drink and add a few mint leaves as an additional flavorful garnish that will dress your cocktail in classic Christmas colors.

There you have it, a drink dedicated to Ol’ Saint Nick himself. Enjoy!
