Ellen’s Mistletoe Merlot Slushie:

Ingredients

  • Merlot of Choice
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • Cranberries
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2-3 sprigs of Pine

    • Directions

    1. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine sugar and honey. Once they start to dissolve together, add pine sprigs and let simmer for 5 minutes. Remove pine sprigs.
    2. In a separate bowl, combine ¼ c sugar and cranberries. Muddle together so that cranberries are broken down. Add in ½ cup of syrup and combine. Add in Merlot, and mix all together.
    3. Pour into Ice Trays, and freeze. Once frozen, dump ice cubes into blender and pulsate for 15-30 seconds, until slushie consistency is achieved. Pour into glass and serve with sprig of pine and sugared cranberry skewer as garnish.

          5. Aunt Bethany's Jell-O shots:

          Instructions 

          • 1 package of jello, flavor of choice (we used cranberry)
          • ½ cup vodka
          • ½ cup cold water
          • 1 cup water, boiling
          • Ice cubes
          • Chocolate Lucky charms, no marshmallows

            • Directions

            1. In a small bowl, add cold water and Vodka together, and place in fridge to get a consistent temperature.
            2. Bring water to boiling, and add to separate bowl with jello packet contents.
            3. Stir until gelatin is dissolved, and then add ice cubes to water/vodka mixture in the fridge, bringing total measure to about 1 ¼ cups. Stir until most ice is dissolved, and remove remaining pieces.
            4. Add a few pieces of the Lucky Charms to the bottom of mini disposable shot glasses, and pour the jello mixture on top.
            5. Place jello in fridge for a minimum of 30 minutes, for a soft-set, and 1 ½ hour for a firm set.
