The Feeling Festive is a seasonally inspired cocktail created by Jaime Windon of Lyon Rum and Windon Distillery of St. Michaels, Maryland. This drink combines the clean profile of the rum with tart cherry juice and fresh lemon juice, then adds an unexpected layer of warmth with house-made ginger simple syrup. The result is a vibrant, ruby-red sour that balances fruit, spice, and spirit, finished with a subtle effervescence that truly makes you feel festive.
Feeling Festive Ingredients
- 2 oz White Rum
- 1 oz Tart Cherry Juice
- 1/2 oz Fresh Lemon Juice
- 1/8 oz Ginger Simple Syrup (dash)
- Splash Club Soda
How to Make a Feeling Festive
- Add the rum, tart cherry juice, lemon juice, and ginger simple syrup to a cocktail shaker.
- Fill the shaker with ice.
- Shake well until thoroughly chilled.
- Strain the mixture into a chilled coupe glass.
- Top with a splash of club soda.
This cocktail is shaken to properly integrate the juice and syrup components, resulting in a light, chilled texture before being finished with the club soda. For best results, use a high-quality, flavorful white rum and fresh-squeezed lemon juice.
Feeling Festive Riff
For a richer, more powerful winter flavor, substitute white rum with a dark rum and replace the club soda with a splash of prosecco or other dry sparkling wine for heightened celebratory bubbles.
