Its robust tequila flavor is coupled with a creamy, silky texture, making it a must-have for your holiday celebrations.
So, let's get our Christmas vibes on with the Christmas Silk Stocking cocktail. Here's how you can create this delightful concoction.
The Christmas Silk Stocking
1 1/2 - 2 oz Tequila (depends on how strong you want to make it)

3/4 oz cranberry juice
1/2 oz simple syrup
3/4 oz half & half
Hershey's candy kiss and grater for chocolate shaving garnish
Directions
Start by placing your glass in the freezer to chill (a Nick & Nora glass is recommended). While the glass is chilling, take your cocktail shaker and pour in your tequila, creme de cacao, cranberry juice, simple syrup, and half & half. Add ice and shake the mixture well.
Once your glass is sufficiently chilled, remove it from the freezer. Double strain your shaken cocktail mixture into the glass. For the final touch, garnish the cocktail with shavings of Hershey's chocolate.
