Make Holiday Drinks "Merry" with 7UP from Safeway!

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Dr Pepper Snapple Group for IZEA. 
All opinions are 100% mine.

We came up with a fun Christmas cocktail recipe that we call:

Happy Hour Holly Juice!


To make your very own "Happy Hour Holly Juice" head on over to Safeway.com to buy:
  • 7UP
  • Cranberry juice cocktail
  • Your favorite lemonade
  • A splash of your favorite vodka
This drink calls for 1/4 of your drink 7UP, 1/2 of your drink cranberry juice cocktail, 1/4 of your drink lemonade and then just a splash of vodka. Note: if you want to make a non-alcoholic version it tastes great, too! 
Just don't add vodka :-) But if you do--please, drink responsibly.


Sidenote: I love shopping at Safeway.com! Adam and I have our groceries delivered from them all of the time. But when I need to make a last minute run down the street to our neighborhood Safeway, 
I know that they will have a full isle filled with what I need!

When we made our trip to Safeway to write this blog post, I bought everything I needed to make our Happy Hour Holly Juice--including the adorable nutcracker and green platform stand featured in our photos!


If you'd like to give our "Happy Hour Holly Juice" a try, be sure to stop by Safeway.com to get your ingredients!



Merry Christmas Eve, everyone!

    One of my favorite drinks as a child was 7up and cherry juice. Now, as an adult, I like the idea of adding a bit of vodka to the mix! yum1

    This looks wonderfully refreshing, Cathy. I enjoy mixing 7UP & cranberry juice together as a tasty beverage, but adding the lemonade and splash of vodka makes it a perfect drink for the holidays! :) Will give it a try!

    Thanks so much for this refreshing drink recipe! This would be a perfect drink for New Years! I love 7-up with Cranberry juice all by itself, however, adding the lemonade and vodka makes it a nice drink to celebrate the coming New Year! Thanks so much for this terrific recipe! I appreciate it! Michele :)

    I just love cranberry juice. You could probably make a non-alcoholic version of this too.
