If you're looking for an elegant cocktail for your holidays that is creamy and light, and fruity, this is it. Make it in a martini glass, or low-ball, or a stemless flute, it all works and looks so pretty.
I love mint as an accent, but basil is also delicious!
Notes: Pomegranate vodka is by Smirnoff.
