It’s time for Holiday entertaining and I’ve got a great giveaway today from Sierra Mist to help with your party planning!
I love that Sierra Mist Natural is made with real sugar and 100% natural flavoring. It’s the perfect drink to serve at Holiday celebrations.
I also love Champagne. While experimenting with some cocktail recipes using Sierra Mist Natural and Champagne, my friend from Brazil told me that they put peaches in their Mimosas. That sounded fabulous to me, so of course I had to try it out!
For something different, I added some strawberries and boy did it turn out yummy! This is so easy and a fun cocktail to serve on New Year’s Eve for those who don’t like Champagne all on it’s own.
Brazilian Mimosa Cocktail/Mocktail
Ingredients
- 3 oz. of Sierra Mist Natural
- 3 oz. of Champagne (for a non-alcoholic mocktail – replace with Sierra Mist)
- 1-2 large Fresh Strawberries
- 2 large slices of a peach (canned peaches work best)
- Ice
Directions
- Mash strawberries and peaches in a cocktail shaker.
- Add ice and Sierra Mist.
- Shake gently.
- Pour half of mixture into a sugar rimmed glass and fill to the top with champagne.
My daughter gave the mocktail version a thumbs up! Now I have to make this drink for her a lot! ha. She’s a little spoiled this holiday I think:-)
This giveaway is closed. Congrats to Kala!!
This giveaway post is sponsored by Sierra Mist.
I had to laugh about your daughter and the mocktail. We have great strawberries here in North Carolina and when my daughters were young, I made non-alcholic strawberry margaritas with the fresh strawberries. They were a hit and became almost a daily drink during strawberry season. One Friday night my 9 year old had a friend coming over for a sleepover. I find her hanging onto the column on the front porch, waving her glass around, going “come on, we’re having margaritas!” Needless to say it was a hasty run to the front yard to explain to the parent they were strawberry ‘smoothies’.
Looks so tasty! Sienna, seems to be enjoying the mocktail a lot. Thanks for sharing your recipe. Surely would be fun to make these now. 🙂
I like a Tequila Sunrise.

I haven’t had a cocktail for a long time, but I enjoy a vodka collins. I bet that I could make a good one with Sierra Mist!
My favorite mixed drink is the Georgia Peach. There are a bunch of different variations online but this is the version I like best:
1 shot bacardi rum
1 shot peach schnapps
1 shot grenadine
Mix in cocktail shaker with a scoop of ice
Pour into glass, then add lemonade until glass is full.
This drink is so yummy!

Amaretto sour! I love sweet drinks 🙂
Hi, Amy!! Okay, check this one out! This is a mix of Captain Morgan (or any spiced rum), Amaretto, Southern Comfort and pineapple juice. For one drink, use one shot of each liquor and three shots of pineapple juice! Oh my GOSH, is this one GOOD!! It’s been labeled “The Homestead Slammer”! =)
I’m a colada girl all the way. Loved the colada’s from PR at the Condado Hotel. But I’ll take a pina too!
My new favorite thing to drink is Bigelow Jasmine Green Tea – delicate and exquisite! We don’t mix drinks much and no alcohol in our house, but my girls like tea with peach or raspberry puree or nectar mixed in.
I loove these pumpkin eggnog martini’s we had over thanksgiving break! delish!
I am a wine drinker, but when I was pregnant I discovered this drink that I still love a mango mint Agua fresca. It was mango purée, muddled mint, lime juice and club soda. So delicious!
I haven’t had it yet, but I really want to try a sierra mist with cotton candy on top. I hear it’s great to dip in the soda and then eat. Mmmm.
I tweeted (and follow Sierra Mist and you!!)
How delish, and what a fun giveaway! I love mimosas…and cosmos! Yummy.

i have a non alcoholic drink that i LOVE!! mix two cans of FRESCA (i know!!), one cup of cranberry juice cocktail. fill a glass full of ice – pour the frescan mixture to the top of the glass – add a piece of quartered lime that you’ve squeezed into the glass..oh yum!!! great summer drink – and pretty – i call it the lime pinky drink!
I like to make vodka slush… in a large container mix in 1 12 oz thawed 12oz frozen concentrated OJ, and 1 thawed 12 oz frozen lemonade… any brand works ok. Add 3 cups sugar and 6 cups of water. The original recipe calls for a few cups of vodka but I put in the whole dang bottle lol. Let freeze overnight (it won’t freeze completely, it forms a slushy mixture) then the next day scoop out the amount you want into your glasses and top with either sierra mist natural or 7 up… delicious!
Chocolate Martini….yummmmmm…….Godiva is the best 🙂
Let’s see where do I begin! There’s Mimosas (the Brazilian Mimosa sounds fabulous), Margaritas, Sangria,… I could go on. No really I’m not that big a drinker – but do love to celebrate special days with a libation.
Thanks for the recipe. The Sierra Mist Natural seems perfect for all kinds of recipes.
Margaritas always make me happy and I let Jose Cuervo make them for me. The bottle at the grocery store is about $12 and very handy!

I went on vacation in Mexico and they had these frozen drinks called Mango Tangos, they were so good! All I know is there was rum in them and of course Mango drink flavoring.
New Age wine on ice with a twist of lemon is pretty tasty!
I love peach bellinis (especially from the Cheesecake Factory!) and sangria of any kind. MMMMM!

Oh Yummy–peaches and strawberries in any drink sounds so good. I don’t really have any drink recipes to share, guess I am not very inventive. One of my friends makes an upside down pineapple cake drink that is yummy, but I do not know what is in the drink.

Orchards Peach Juice (found in the OJ section)
Frozen peaches (they act as ice)
Champagne
Add equal amounts of peach juice and champagne into a beverage server. Add 1/2 bag of peaches to keep drink chilled and keep other 1/2 bag as a garnish. Allow guest to server themselves. For additional color you can add grenadine to the mix.
My favorite drink is a pineapple upside martini.
1 part vanilla vodka
1 part amaretto
1 part Pineapple juice
I’m Brazilian, so I love Caipirinhas!
Recipe (one serving):
1 limes
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 cup cachaca (in a pinch you can substitute for 1/2 cup vodka)
ice cubes
Directions:
Cut the lime in quarters then cut them crosswise.
Put lime and sugar in a tall glass and mash with a pestle (or a wood spoon).
Add the cachaça on the lime juice and stirr.
Add ice and stirr again.
Great thing about this recipe, is that you can increase the ingredients to your liking (ie – extra sugar for sweeter taste).
Enjoy!

Amaretto Sour. My husband introduced it to me years ago and it’s been my “treat” since.
I love mint mojitos, mocktail version. I have fresh mint in my yard so it is fun. Another version of that (don’t know if there is an alcohol that would go with it or not) is lemonade with basil leaves. YUM.
My favorite drink is Maracuja thanks to my friend Michelle who got me hooked on it:)
Love a cosmo, mojito and margaritas, I could drink a gallon of my skinny margaritas in the summer and oh so easy! I use great value brand sugar free Margarita flavored drink mix, Makes a 2 qt pitcher. Fill to almost full (Less 2 cups) Add one cup tequila and 1/2 cup triple sec. Serve over ice. I also do this with the peach tea, heaven!
I love a good spicy Cesar with all the trimmings:)
we love orange julius around here:
6 oz. frozen orange juice concentrate
1 cup milk
1 cup water
1/2 cup sugar (or 1/4 cup granulated + 1/4 cup powdered)
1 tsp. vanilla extract
8-9 ice cubes
1. Combine all ingredients except ice cubes in blender.
2. Blend for about 1-2 minutes, adding ice cubes one at a time.
There aren’t too many cocktails I don’t love. My classic cosmo is probably the most effortless. It was taught to me by a dear friend and bartender in Manhattan years ago.
2 parts cranberry juice
2 parts vodka (absolut apeach or raspberry work great for added flavor)
1 part grand marnier
1/4 part rose’s lime juice.
Shake it up with ice until it’s super cold, the perfect shade of pink and then strain every last drop into a martini glass. This works great as a huge batch in a pitcher too.
If I am actually making real cocktails…bring on the Cosmos:) But that is rare so I usually am drinking vodka mixed with Sierra most or *gasp* one of their competitors:) Whoever is cheapest that week!
My fav drink is an Amaretto Sour – delish!

I adore Margaritas and Sour Apple Martinis.
My favorite drink is champagne. If I feel festive I may add framboise or pear nectar.
I’ve just discovered a skinny rita, love the reduced calories.
Yum! If I make a “fancy drink,” I usually do a mojito.
