Prep Tips:

To make your drink even more festive, you can rim the glass with gold sugar crystals or green sanding sugar. It will give the drink a little hint of sweetness and even more fun color!

To make this a pitcher, quadruple the ingredients and stir together in a large drink pitcher. Keep in the fridge until you're ready to serve, then pour into ice-filled glasses.
