No matter what your holiday celebration looks like this year, you deserve to make yourself a delicious batch of craft cocktails for the occasion (and for the dreaded conversation with that one relative…).
We’re so thrilled to be sharing another beautiful creation from Ariana Madix and Tom Sandoval, stars of the hit Bravo series, Vanderpump Rules. If you have family lingering after the holidays, and you’re wondering how you’ll make it through, or how best to celebrate, this drink comes just in the Nick of Time.

The Nick of Time Cocktail Recipe
We love this cocktail because it can be customized to fit your preferred palate. As guava juice can prove to be a difficult find, Tom recommends subbing a splash of your favorite fruit juice instead! He also recommends sticking to the fruits that are in season at the time, which will always give you the freshest flavors. The most common substitute for guava is pineapple or strawberry; try muddling or blending in some strawberries for some extra sweetness.
