The New Year is within reach and I thought it might be fun to finish out 2015 with a celebratory cocktail recipe. Thanks so much for following Zest For Cooking. I appreciate the comments and feedback. Wishing you a Happy and Healthy 2016!

• 2 cups of good vodka
• 1 cup Cointreau liqueur
• 1 cup cranberry juice cocktail
• 1/2 cup pomegranate juice
• 1/2 cup freshly squeezed lime juice (juice of 4 limes)

Garnish: Thinly sliced limes and/or pomegranate seeds.

Combine the vodka, Cointreau, cranberry juice, pomegranate juice and lime juice in a large pitcher. Fill a cocktail shaker half full with ice, pour the mixture in and shake for a full 30 seconds. Pour into martini glasses with a slice of lime or pomegranate seeds and serve immediately.
