We present an easy take on a cocktail from our latest cocktail list. It's a large-volume pre-mixed that's bursting with the tastes of a Christmas time, which makes it excellent for hosting a festive gathering. Reserve the remaining cordial for breakfast cocktails, desserts, or for more rounds of bikinis.
