If you are looking for a festive Christmas cocktail recipe to serve up this holiday season, look o further! This Pomegranate Orange Frost Christmas Cocktail is easy to make, delicious, and makes a pretty addition to the table.
Whether you are having brunch Christmas morning or are just looking for something festive to serve at your Christmas gatherings, this cocktail is perfect. You can customize the liquor you are using if you would like. I used orange tequila but regular or orange flavored vodka works, too!
One of my favorite cocktails is my Orange Vodka Cran so love those flavors together. When I saw a pomegranate cranberry juice I knew I had to make a holiday cocktail. I found the juice at Aldi but I am sure there is similar flavors at other grocery stores. If not you can easily splash both cranberry and pomegranate juice together.

You don’t have to be an experience bartender to make this simple Orange Frost Christmas Cocktail. I used a sugared rim on the glass for some festive flare. If you don’t know how to make that, I walk you step by step below.
How to make a sugared rim for a cocktail
First grab a little sugar on a small plate or dish that will fit your rim of the glass. Next use something sweet and slightly sticky. In this recipe we use a lime wedge but you could easily use cherry juice or even the juice from the recipe. Squeeze the lime wedge around the rim of the glass. Then dip the rim of the glass into the sugar. Boom done, a festive flare.
(Since we are using tequila, feel free to use salt instead!)
How to make this Pomegranate Orange Frost Christmas Cocktail
After you make the sugared rim. Simple fill your glass with ice. Then squeeze the lime wedge you used to make the rim into the glass. Then add your orange tequila or vodka. Add in the pomegranate cranberry juice blend. Then top with some flavored soda water. I actually had cranberry flavored soda water but regulas or lime would work just fine.
Then garnish with a few pomegranate arils if you have them, a lime wedge, or an orange slice! Then cheers with your family and friends and enjoy!! Merry Christmas.
