“I want a holiday cocktail that brings me to the pool,” says Tiffanie Barriere, drinks educator at The Drinking Coach. “I’m that person (usually joined by all my cousins) who drinks tequila at Christmas. Here I make it even beachier with fresh citrus juice, a little bit of red pepper jelly heat and a generous pour of crisp Mexican-style lager. When it comes to the beer, I’m all about Victoria or Pacifico, but I’ll let you go with whatever brand you like, just as long as it’s light and takes you straight to the cabana.” If you really can’t take the heat (it’s not a lot!), you can substitute whatever marmalade or jam you’d like for the pepper jelly.
