Here is a festive (or non-festive—depending on your perspective of the Grinch) cocktail that one won’t loathe entirely.

Inspired by “How the Grinch Stole Christmas,” Stephanie’s favorite Christmas movie, and Candice’s sentiments during this sometimes overwhelming time of year, The Grinch Cocktail will grow a small heart three sizes so one is not wallowing in self-pity,  staring into the abyss or wrestling with self-loathing, like the Grinch.

The Grinch cocktail calls for tequila, Midori and lime juice combined in a shaker with ice.  Give it a good shake and strain into a glass. Top off with ginger ale, to your liking.

To rim your glass, get a plate with some water and dip your glass for a couple seconds. Dip into another bowl filled with green sanding sugar and garnish with a candy cane!
