Sips & Sites & Bites

The holidays tend to sneak up fast, and when they do, it helps to have a bottle … and a plan … ready to go. Tequila Corralejo’s new holiday kit checks both boxes, pairing a classic reposado with a couple of festive cocktail ideas that feel playful without being complicated.

Corralejo Reposado has always been a solid choice for cocktails: smooth, lightly oaked, and versatile enough to handle citrus, sweetness, and a little holiday flair. This season, the brand is leaning into that versatility with two cocktails designed for cozy nights, casual gatherings, and last-minute celebrations that still deserve something special in the glass.

One of the standouts is The One Who Stirred Christmas, a cinema-inspired nod to the 25th anniversary of How the Grinch Stole Christmas. It’s bright green, lightly mischievous, and surprisingly balanced. Midori brings color and sweetness, lemon juice keeps things lively, and a touch of vanilla softens everything just enough. A dash of cream or coconut milk is optional, but it adds a subtle texture that makes the drink feel a little indulgent—perfect for sipping by the tree.

The One Who Stirred Christmas
Green, festive, and just a little mischievous.

Ingredients

• 2 oz Tequila Corralejo Reposado
• 0.75 oz Midori
• 0.5 oz lemon juice
• 0.5 oz vanilla syrup
• Dash of cream or coconut milk (optional)

Method
Shake well with ice. Serve over crushed ice in a holiday glass. Garnish with a red cherry and a mint sprig.

If minty and bright is more your holiday style, the White Christmas Margarita delivers a snowy twist on a familiar favorite. White chocolate liqueur adds richness, peppermint brings a cooling pop, and fresh lime juice keeps it firmly in margarita territory. Rim the glass with crushed peppermint, drop in a mini candy cane, and suddenly you’ve got a drink that looks as festive as it tastes.
