A simple, festive cocktail to toast the season with DaTerra Cucina

Twinkling lights, cozy gatherings, and something beautiful to pour into a chilled glass—that’s the heart of holiday hosting. This Spiced Ginger Aperol Martini is an easy Christmas-ready cocktail that looks elegant on the table but comes together in just a few steps.

Malfy Italian Gin (limone flavor) adds bright citrus notes, Aperol brings that classic bittersweet Italian touch, and ginger liqueur adds gentle warmth. A cinnamon sugar rim and crisp apple slice make it feel like a little Christmas treat in a glass—no extra effort, no complicated directions.

Serve it as your signature cocktail for holiday dinners, Christmas Eve nibbles, or a relaxed night in with your DaTerra Cucina favorites.

  • 1oz Malfy Italian Gin - limone flavor

A Festive Touch with DaTerra Cucina

That apple slice garnish and cinnamon sugar rim do a lot of the holiday “decorating” for this drink. A sharp DaTerra Cucina chef knife helps you slice clean, even apple wedges that look beautiful perched on the rim of your chilled martini or coupe glass.

Set out a tray of these cocktails next to your holiday appetizers, turn on the Christmas music, and you’ve created a warm, inviting moment without adding stress to your holiday cooking.

Raise a glass to the season with this Spiced Ginger Aperol Christmas Martini—and let DaTerra Cucina be part of every festive gathering.
