It's time for mixing and fixing those holiday drinks! This week I'll be blogging all about it and sharing my favorite recipes. Today I'll start the stir stick stirring with a Betty Crocker recipe. I've served this spritzer for 7 or 8 years now and always fall back on it in a pinch. Not only do I serve it during the holidays but I serve it to house guests all throughout the year.

Ingredients:

2 cups chilled dry white wine, nonalcoholic wine or apple juice
1 cup chilled cranberry-apple juice drink
1 cup chilled sparkling water
Apple slices, if desired
Fresh mint, if desired

Directions:

1. Mix wine, juice drink and sparkling water.
2. Serve over ice. Garnish with apple slices and mint.

North Pole Strawberry Smoothie Recipe

Tis the season to round up new recipes for holiday drinks and smoothies. Here's a smoothie recipe made with strawberries and vanilla frozen yogurt. The rim of the glass is dipped in crushed candy which makes it look so festive. Perfect for Christmas Eve drinks with the kids too. I love it!

INGREDIENTS:

1 package (10 ounces) frozen strawberries in syrup, partially thawed and undrained
1/4 cup water
2 cups vanilla frozen yogurt
2 tablespoons vanilla reduced-fat yogurt
1 strawberry-flavored or peppermint candy cane, about 6 inches long, finely crushed
Green decorating gel

DIRECTIONS:

1. Place strawberries and water in blender. Cover and blend on medium-high speed until slushy. Blend on medium speed until smooth. Transfer to 2-cup measure.

2. Wash and dry blender. Place frozen yogurt and reduced-fat yogurt in blender. Cover and blend on medium speed until smooth.

3. Place crushed candy cane on small plate. Pipe decorating gel around rim of two 12-ounce glasses. Dip rims into crushed candy.

4. Carefully pour yogurt mixture and strawberries at the same time into glasses, creating a half-and-half design. Serve with large drinking straws if desired.
