THE CLASSIC COCKTAIL WITH A LITTLE TWIST.

MISTLETOE MARTINI

• 3-4 ice cubes
• 3 oz. Cranberry tea, chilled
• 2 oz. vodka
• 2 oz. orange juice
• 3 teaspoon sugar
• 3/4 oz. lemon juice

Place ice cubes in Martini shaker and add all ingredients. Close the shaker and shake. Strain into two martini glasses. Garnish and enjoy.

Holiday Hint:

If you're making several teatinis, brew a pot of Tetley Cranberry tea beforehand. Then you'll have enough tea handy to mix more cocktails.

Add a festive flaire with these garnish ideas:

GREEN TEA MARTINI

• Ice
• 1 ounce green tea, chilled
• 2 ounces citron vodka
• 1 teaspoon Cointreau
• 1 teaspoon simple syrup
• Orange twist

Fill a shaker with ice. Add green tea, vodka, Cointreau and simple syrup. Shake well and strain into a cocktail glass. Garnish with an orange twist.

GIN & TEA

A new twist on the Gin & Tonic.

• 1 ½ oz. Gin
• 1/2 oz. lemon juice
• 1 oz. Simple Syrup
• 3 oz. Orange pekoe tea
• Tonic water

Build all the ingredients over ice in a highball glass and top with tonic. Garnish with a lemon wedge.

TEA-FOR-TWO-MARTINI

• 1 ½ oz. Spiced Rum
• 3 oz. black tea
• 1 oz. Simple syrup
• 1 ½ cranberry juice
• 1 tsp. grenadine

Place tea in martini shaker along with rum and mixers, shake well and strain into two-chilled martini glasses. Garnish with a cherry.

RED TEA

• 1 oz. Chambord or your favorite Raspberry Liqueur
• 1 oz. Vodka
• 3 oz. tea
• 1 oz. simple syrup

Pour all ingredients into a shakee and shake well. Pour into a martini glass and garnish with raspberries.

In all its forms, alcoholic and non-alcoholic, classic and complicated, sweet and spicy -- there's nothing that makes a martini look better than a unique garnish. So don't settle for the standard lemon twist. Think mint sprigs, cinnamon sticks, apple slices, blood orange wheels, red currants.
