Santa’s Spritzer! The perfect Holiday Cocktail for any party or get together. With only 3 ingredients and optional garnishes, this drink is a breeze to make by the pitcher or individual glass. Festive and delicious, cheers to that!

Step 1:

Grab 5 Champagne glasses and sugar the rim by dipping the champagne glass rim in a shallow bowl or plate of water. Shake off the water slightly, then dip the champagne glass rim in a shallow bowl of sugar. Move the glass around in a circular motion, if needed, to evenly coat the rim.

STEP 2:

Add 1/2 ounce Grand Marnier to each glass.

STEP 3:

Fill 1/3 of each glass up with cranberry pomegranate juice. I like to also add fresh cranberries & pomegranate seeds at the bottom, but this is completely optional.

STEP 4:

Top each glass off with Prosecco or Champagne, either one works great!

Step 5:

Garnish with rosemary twigs and sugared cranberries. For the sugared cranberries, lightly roll them in water. Remove any excess water and skewer 3 cranberries onto a toothpick. Sprinkle sugar over the top to coat.

Step 6: ENJOY!

Ingredients

  • 1 bottle Prosecco or Champagne
  • 2 1/2 ounces of Grand Marnier
  • 1 1/4 cup Cranberry Pomegranate Juice*
  • Garnish with rosemary twig, cranberries, & pomegranate seeds, optional.**  

Instructions:

Santa’s Spritzer by the Pitcher

  1. To make a pitcher: ADD ALL INGREDIENTS TOGETHER in a large pitcher, boom, done! Enjoy!

Santa’s Spritzer by the Glass:

  1. To make individual glasses: Grab 5 Champagne glasses and sugar coat the rim by dipping the champagne glass rim in a shallow bowl or plate of water. Shake off the water slightly, then dip the champagne glass rim in a shallow bowl of sugar. Move the glass around in a circular motion, if needed, to evenly coat the rim
  2. Add 1/2 ounce Grand Marnier to each glass
  3. Fill 1/3 of each glass up with cranberry pomegranate juice. I like to also add fresh cranberries & pomegranate seeds at the bottom at this point
  4. Top each glass off with Prosecco or Champagne
  5. Garnish with rosemary twigs and sugared cranberries. For the sugared cranberries, lightly roll them in water. Remove any excess water and skewer 3 cranberries onto a toothpick. Sprinkle sugar over the top to coat, rolling them around lightly, and place on rim of glass

Notes:

*Can’t find the cran pom juice, that’s okay! Use 1 1/4 cup equal parts cranberry juice and pomegranate juice

**If you were to pick one garnish, my suggestion would be to go with the rosemary. Even though it sits on top, the rosemary adds a wonderful, subtle flavor to the drink!

INGREDIENTS 
6 cups romaine lettuce chopped (about 3 small heads)
1 small red onion, diced
2 cups frozen peas, defrosted
1 red bell pepper, chopped
7 hard boiled eggs, sliced

Okay I know Easter is basically over… but you need Okay I know Easter is basically over… but you need to save this for next year 🐰✝️ Or honestly, just make it all spring long 🌸

My dad (who doesn’t bake at all) made this cake when I was little, and it’s one of my fav core Easter memories 🤍 It’s so cute, fun to get kids involved with, and instantly makes everything feel a little more fun and special!

INSTRUCTIONS:
Bake your favorite cake in two 8-inch round pans. Let them cool completely, then wrap and freeze for easier cutting.

Keep one cake whole for the face. Cut the second cake to create the ears and bow tie, then arrange everything on a platter.

Frost with white icing and cover with shredded coconut (leave a little space in the ears for pink frosting). 

Decorate with gumdrops, jelly beans, fruit punch straws, or whatever candy you have on hand!

SAVE this for spring or next Easter 🐰

INGREDIENTS:

Chicken Marinade
1 1/2 lbs chicken breast, sliced into tenders
1 1/2 cups whole milk
1 1/2 tbsp lemon juice
1/2 tbsp garlic powder
1/2 tbsp onion powder
1/2 tbsp paprika
1 tsp salt
1 tsp black pepper

Seasoned Flour Coating
1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1/2 cup cornstarch
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp black pepper

Sauce
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup ketchup
2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp cracked black pepper
Salt, to taste

Oil for frying
For Serving: French fries, Texas toast, and coleslaw

Instructions:
In a large bowl, combine the chicken and all marinade ingredients. Mix well, cover, and refrigerate overnight.

In another bowl, whisk together all seasoned flour coating ingredients. Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing excess liquid to drip off. Dredge each piece in the seasoned flour coating, pressing firmly to coat. Lift and gently shake off excess flour, then place on a wire rack set over a sheet pan.

Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes, then dredge again in the seasoned flour coating. Return to the rack and let sit for another 15 minutes. This helps create that extra crispy texture.

In a small bowl, mix all sauce ingredients together and refrigerate until ready to use.

Heat oil in a heavy bottom pan to 350°F. Fry the chicken in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for about 3 minutes per side, or until golden brown, crispy, and fully cooked.

Serve with sauce, French fries, Texas toast, and coleslaw.
