Grasshoppers taste like thin mints (Girl Scout cookies in alcohol form? Yes, please!), and Washington Apples taste like, well, apples (duh). Both are delicious, and you'll be the hit of your next holiday party.
Obviously I didn't make up these recipes (like I did the Holiday Sangria), but I tested them out for our upcoming parties, and I hope you're as inspired as I've been! And of course, they're Christmas colors.

Please remember to always use a designated driver, and stay within your limits! You might ruin all the fun otherwise.
