Cosmo Drink directions
- In stock pan, bring liquids except sparkling water and cranberries to a boil. When cranberries start to open, reduce heat and add sugar, vanilla extract.
- When everything has been added except for sparkling water, pour into serving container. Top with Santa’s beard and sprinkle with orange zest and put a few of the cooked cranberries on top of beard.
Santa’s Beard directions
- Make sure there is no yolk inside whites as you crack into mixing bowl. Blend whites on high until white foam starts to emerge. Gradually add sugar and vanilla, then blend until whites form soft peaks. To test meringue, you should should be able to flip bowl over your head without any meringue falling on your head. Don’t worry if it does — straight protein on your hair is actually good!
Recycle Santa’s cookies
- Crush half bag of pecan sandie cookies
- You can dip rims in the cosmo drink or use water, then dip rims into cookie crumbs.
