Cocktails and Conversations December 16

Dec 16, 2021

We wanted to mark the year with casual conversation and bring back Cocktails and Conversation.

Join us on December 16, 3:30-4:30 p.m. EST and wear your ugly holiday sweater! You know you want a reason to wear it. Enjoy a social hour to share a drink and some conversation with your fellow SITE Canada members.

To get the conversation started share your best memory of 2021 or your favourite holiday traditions or share your favourite cookie recipe. There is so much to be thankful for as we see the light and look to 2022 with great optimism. Join Pearleen Mofford for one last time as President of SITE Canada.

This is a SITE Canada members only event so please check your email for the registration link sent on Friday, December 3. If you do not receive the email contact office@sitecanada.org. The confirmation email with the link to join will come directly from Zoom so be sure to check your junk/spam folder.

We look forward to seeing you on December 16.

Looking for some inspiration? How about a Christmas Martini for the call?

Ingredients

  • 1 ounce (2 tablespoons) vodka
  • 1 ounce (2 tablespoons) 100% cranberry juice (not sweetened*)
  • ½ ounce (1 tablespoon) Cointreau
  • ½ ounce (1 tablespoon) lemon juice
  • 2 teaspoons simple syrup or maple syrup
  • For the garnish: cranberries, rosemary sprig

How to make a Christmas martini (basic steps)

The Christmas martini is easy to make. All you’ll need is a cocktail shaker and a martini glass! If you’re making this for a crowd, you can also mix up 2 drinks at once in a single cocktail shaker. Here are the basic steps (or jump to the recipe):

  1. Shake: Add the vodka, cranberry juice, Cointreau, lemon juice, and simple syrup to the cocktail shaker. Shake for 15 seconds until cold.
  2. Strain: Strain the drink into a glass and serve!
  3. Garnish: Here’s the fun part! To make it look Christmas-y, use fresh cranberries and a rosemary sprig as a garnish. In these photographs, place the cranberries on a cocktail pick but you can also place them directly into the drink.

Happy Holidays everyone!
