12 Days of Xmas | Day 5 – Pomegranate-Rosemary Festive Fizz Cocktail Recipe

December 5, 2017 by Nick Joly Leave a Comment

easy-to-make-cocktails-this-christmas

Christmas is the time for cheer, spreading joy, being thankful, giving, and hopefully if you’re like me, not waiting to the last minute to get all of your gift shopping done!

I was good this year. I’m proud to say that I won’t even be stepping foot into the Eaton Centre for the whole two weeks leading up to Christmas! (a big accomplishment given my track record!)

Instead, I’ll be designing the food & drink menu for friends and family coming over for the holidays. And if your family is anything at all like mine, unexpected drop ins are to be expected.

I have to say, I actually enjoy having friends and family pop in unannounced, so long as I’m prepared! The more the merrier is my motto, and why not? ‘Tis the season, right?! Sometimes there’s nothing better than to surprise your surprise-guests with delicious treats that they weren’t expecting! 🙂

What can be better than family gathering at Christmas, a fridge full of ready-to-serve snacks, and festive cocktails that are quick to prepare?!

Today’s content is kindly bring sponsored by Montellier.

For the fifth day in my 12 Days of Christmas series on Inspired by Nick, I’ve partnered with Montellier to bring you a fun #FestiveFizz cocktail recipe! Perfect for serving those unannounced family members who shall remain nameless. 😉

Holiday Recipe! Pomegranate-Rosemary Festive Fizz Cocktails!

holiday-cocktail-recipes-montellier-sparkling-water

In the spirit of being home for the holidays, coincidentally, Montellier is from Quebec, just like me!

Montellier is a sparkling water that I actually really love serving guests when I’m entertaining, and I find it pairs really nicely win gins and vodkas for cocktail recipes. A classic vodka-soda with lime is a staple for S and I. And after a few cocktail recipe testings, so are these Festive Fizz cocktails!

The only ingredients you need are:

  • 1 oz vodka
  • 350 ml Montellier Original Sparkling Water
  • 2 tbsp pomegranate seeds
  • 1 sprig fresh rosemary

The taste of these cocktails is crisp, refreshing and above all, festive! I’m not quite sure what it is about pomegranates that I’ve been so enthralled with lately, but they’re in season and I love finding multiple uses for them. Everyone I’ve served these cocktails to has shared that they loved the pops of colour and bursts of flavour from the poms!

The rosemary sprig is a nice touch, too. I happen to hold rosemary in very high regard, as my second favourite herb, next to cilantro of course! I’m not quite sure how this cocktail would taste with fresh cilantro as opposed to the rosemary, so I won’t recommend it! >_<

Like I mentioned, Montellier is sourced from Quebec. And while my heartmate and I have been living in Toronto for four years now, Montreal, QC will always be home for us.

It’s so nice to be able to serve something to guests, that sourced from a place you call home. It just makes the feeling of giving and entertaining that much more special for us.

What are your favourite cocktails recipes?

These pomegranate-rosemary cocktails are the ice-breakers when it comes to holiday entertaining! I hope you enjoy more from my 12 Days of Christmas series on Inspired by Nick over the next week!

And have a look at Montellier’s Instagram page for more holiday recipe inspiration, or follow along with the #FestiveFizz hashtag to see what other creators are whipping up this holiday season!

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays, friends. I hope you spend time with the people you love most and create lasting memories together over good food and drinks.

Grocery shopping but 'leveled up' 💁🏻‍♂️🍄 y’all know that food shopping is basically my favourite hobby 😂. Over the past few weeks, I’ve told you about #MyHealthMyChoices by @MetroOntario and now I’m gonna show you just how easy it is to sort and find foods you love, while fitting within your dietary needs.
—
I always start in produce (naturally) and then jump straight to organic aisles for my fav snacks. Using the green labels in-store, I can identify (at a quick glance) which products are plant-based, vegan, or gluten-free. The My Health, My Choices program also allows me to scan product barcodes using the MyMetro app and search for exactly what I need, taking the whole experience to the next level 🙌🏼 ➡️ Swipe to see my shopping experience and what items I picked up at my local Metro. #Sponsored #MyMetro #Inspiredbynick
we’ve moved into our home 🏡 and we’re still we’ve moved into our home 🏡 and we’re still taking time to settle in. there are some projects we wanna get done asap but can’t due to lockdown, so we’re just gonna go with the flow and enjoy the ride together 👬🏻 ps, that photo is from 9 years ago on one of our first dates
When you’re craving a burger but you also want a When you’re craving a burger but you also want a #meatless option 🙌🏼🍔 Organic Black Bean Fiesta Burgers made by yours truly 🍔💁🏻‍♂️when I was vegan I really had to get creative with a lot of my recipes, otherwise I’d be eating the same old bean salad every day… and bean salad doesn’t really taste like a burger when you’re craving a burger! Even though I’m not fully vegan anymore, I do still like to swap out meat as much as possible with other #plantbased options because that’s what works for me! 
With @metroontario's new program, MyHealth, MyChoices finding products that suit your dietary needs and lifestyles couldn't be easier. With almost 9,000 products labelled with nearly 50 different attributes like plant-based, fat-free, non-GMO, etc., you can easily find what works for you. So for this recipe, I looked for the green labels in-store, found the perfect Irresistibles organic black beans and extra virgin olive oil and whipped up a batch of patties that my heartmate and I devoured! (Tip: they also freeze well)! The recipe for them is on my blog (link in bio) and on Metro’s Instagram page and website! Hope you enjoy these if you decide to make them! #inspiredbynick  #MyHealthMyChoices #mymetro #sponsored

At-home yoga for the winnn! 🧘🏻‍♂️🌿✨ because even though supporting my local yoga studio looks different now than in the past (classes are all online or through their app), I can still feel good about being a paying member and doing a small part to #supportlocal. 
-
I am not THE poster child for supporting local, that’s just the truth, but I do what I can, where I can. Honestly, I do miss being in the hot studio where after a class I would be drenched and feeling so accomplished, ironically though, I’m surprisingly still drenched after a 90 min class at home, more so than I thought I would be! So I still feel good about getting my workout in, even if it’s different than being there in person. 
- 
Anyone who does yoga regularly like me knows a wet bag is essential after a good flow. The team at @forwardwithdesign have this awesome bag (I link to it in my stories) that I love--it’s super practical and I love the cute print! While I’m not getting as much use out of it as I’d like right now, it will definitely be coming with me to the studio when some of our restrictions lift and small businesses open up again!!
