This recipe is our holiday tradition for Christmas eve - outstanding recipe - I don't understand AKprincess3's review at all - maybe not sophisticated tastes in drinks? This recipe is awesome! -
No one liked it. Waste of good ingredients. yuk! -
This is wonderful! I served this Christmas eve this year to rave reviews from everyone. I used vanilla vodka (that's what I had) and cranberry pomegranate juice (100% juice not the cocktail - but any 100% cranberry juice would be nice). It was absolutely delicious and very smooth.

Currently working as a mental health provider for the US Naval Hospital in Okinawa, Japan. I work in Deployment Health - counseling military members returning from war. I was a bartender for 13 years (so the move over to counseling was not too great a leap...) and when I have time, love to write. My passion is travel - especially to tropical locales and eating is also one of my favorite pastimes. As a result of the eating pastime, working out is one of my not- so-favorite, but very necessary, hobbies. I moved to Okinawa Japan 11 years ago (May 2006) and hope to be here until I get tired of the place (after that who knows?!). I love cooking but wish I had a sous chef and a dishwasher to do all the dirty work!
