Instructions
- Using a mixer glass, pour in cranberry juice, simple syrup, fresh lime juice and vodka. Give it a quick stir.
- Pour a couple of tablespoons of honey into a shallow bowl and sugar into another bowl.
- Dip the rim of each glass in honey and then roll in sugar to create a sugared rim.

Notes
Simple Syrup: Combine 1/2 cup sugar with 1/2 cup boiling water, stirring until sugar is dissolved. Cool before using. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for a few weeks.
You can blend Tipsy Reindeer ahead of time and store it in the freezer. Before serving, give it a quick stir or reblend to bring back the slushy texture.
For a lighter version, swap vodka for cranberry flavored vodka. Add a splash of orange juice for a citrus twist. Turn it into a mocktail by skipping the alcohol and adding sparkling water just before serving.
Double as Needed - for a pitcher cocktail - multiply ingredients by 4 - 6.
