FIFA World Cup Cocktails: Netherlands

Have you gotten caught up in World Cup fever? The 2010 FIFA World Cup is in full swing, and the Netherlands team is still in the running now that they've knocked off Slovakia.

Now that many of the teams have been sent home, it might be time to reevaluate who you're cheering for. Why not cheer for the Netherlands! They wear bright orange jerseys that are easy to follow on the screen (come on, you know that matters), plus, we've got a delicious drink with which to toast their recent victory!

Red Card Cocktail
1-1/2 oz Van Gogh Pomegranate Vodka
1/2 oz Triple Sec
1/2 oz Peach Schnapps
1 oz Cranberry Juice
1 oz Club Soda

Add all ingredients into a shaker and shake over ice. Pour into a martini glass or on the rocks.

(Fun facts: Van Gogh Vodka is produced in the historic Royal Dirkzwager distillery in Schiedam, Holland. The distillery, recently renovated under the supervision of the Holland Monument Society, was given "Royal Appointment" in 2005 by Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands. Here, Master Distiller, Tim Vos, hand-crafts all Van Gogh Vodkas in small batches.)
