Christmas will be here in just a few short weeks and I've been shopping, decorating, and watching holiday movies in anticipation of the big day. One thing that really gets me into the mood is making homemade hot chocolate with my family. Gone are the days of making hot chocolate from a packet! Once I realized just how simple it was to make homemade hot chocolate, I've never looked back.

Classic Piña Colada | The Chef Next Door #SundaySupper
Do you like Piña Coladas? And getting caught in the rain? Excuse my cheesiness, I just couldn't resist! This week my #SundaySupper friends and I are celebrating National Piña Colada day and all I've been thinking about is that song. Not only have I loved Piña Coladas for as long as I can remember, but I love anything that involves coconut and pineapple. Especially during the summer! Those flavors just remind me of being somewhere tropical, on a beach, sipping a fruity drink.

I'm one of those people that loves what I call "foo foo" drinks. The sweet and fruity ones! Piña Coladas, daiquiris, sangria, those are my kind of drinks. So when I learned about it being National Piña Colada Day, I just knew I had to share the classic drink with you. 

Cranberry Mojito

 Impress your holiday guests  with this light, refreshing and delicious Cranberry Mojito cocktail! 
Cranberry Mojito | The Chef Next Door

I love a good cocktail, especially during the holidays. I'm not one who really drinks that much, but it's nice to have a drink or two during parties or celebrations. This holiday season I wanted to create something light and refreshing, but still full of flavor. This Cranberry Mojito turned out to be exactly what I was looking for!

Made with light cranberry juice and DASANI sparkling water, this mojito is low in calories and sugar. DASANI sparkling water is the perfect mixer because it has ZERO calories, no added colors, is caffeine-free, and naturally flavored. It adds the perfect amount of flavor and bubbles to this cocktail! Add fresh mint, lime juice and whole cranberries and it not only looks festive, but tastes festive too.
