We’re excited to share these holiday cocktail recipes created just for you by expert mixologist Bryn Quarles. She is the founder of Bryn Rose Quarles Cocktail Co., a beverage company in Seattle, Washington creating individually bottled and hand-mixed cocktails that feature a twist on the classics.

The four drink recipes in the pages that follow are based around using a homemade pomegranate molasses that you will create first. These were designed with the entire family in mind so that there is something for everyone to enjoy. Kids will love helping to measure the ingredients, stirring the bubbling concoction on the stove and then bottling it all up. The result is a gorgeous, deep red molasses that isn’t just for cocktails. It can be used to add flavor to many dishes and treats. Try drizzling it on pancakes or ice cream for all ages to devour.

We hope you enjoy these recipes that include spirited, bubbly and non-alcoholic options whether you’re looking for a quiet evening treat, fun new recipes to make with your kids or something to create along with friends and family. May your holidays be full of cheer and delicious food, from all of us here at Atelier Drome!
