When I was young, I remember my brothers and I sneaking down the stairs on Christmas morning, before mom and dad were awake, to see if Santa had stopped by our house yet. We weren't allowed to open any gifts until the parents got up, but we could take a peek into our stockings. As sure as Santa is real, at the very bottom, in the toe if you will, we'd find one beautiful orange. I never knew why, but it was tradition. Now that I am all grown up, relatively speaking, the new tradition is to have an adult beverage nearby as we open gifts.  That is where this cocktail comes in. Orange In Your Stocking pays homage to memories gone by. An easy drink with just enough Sunkist Orange Soda zip to enjoy at the holidays, from Christmas to New Years Eve.

Orange In Your Stocking Cocktail Recipe
1.5 oz Vanilla Vodka
1.5 oz Heavy Cream
4 oz Sunkist Orange Soda
For this batch, I used this fun Shaker I had received from Canada Dry.

Pour the vodka and heavy cream, along with some ice, into the shaker. Give it a couple of light shakes and pour into a glass. Top with the Sunkist Orange Soda and stir lightly. You can make it kid friendly too just by leaving out the vodka.
