(Recipe Included) - Ok, I’m a total nerd for classic holiday movies (Disclaimer: not the Hallmark ones). Keeping in tune with the holiday vibes, I’ve partnered with @IcebergVodka to put together this festive beauty for ya to sip on! It’s inspired by the story of Rudolph and his epic 1964 adventure through the frozen wilderness. . I’m thoroughly enjoying the fact that the vodka in this drink was once an iceberg off the coast of Newfoundland and now it’s in my glass mixed with cranberry juice and some other seasonal flavours as I get cozy with it at home. I wonder if Yukon Cornelius had discovered these icebergs, would he too have started a Multi-award winning, gluten-free and kosher vodka company!! . Drink: Playing Reindeer Games 1.5 oz @IcebergVodka 1.5 oz Cranberry juice 0.75 oz Lemon Juice 0.25 oz Clove & Anise Syrup 1 Egg white . (Method) Dry shake all ingredients in a shaker. Add ingredients, shake again and pour into a rocks glass. Garnish: Star Anise. . #IcebergVodka #CanadasVodka
