Holiday Cocktail – Sierra Mist Natural Citrus Cooler

Julie Deily · 504 Comments

Jump to Recipe


After sharing the Frost Bite mocktail with you, my next mission was to create a cocktail recipe using Sierra Mist Natural. Easy peasy…I have been all about Meyer lemons lately so I thought I would go for a vodka cooler that is full of citrus flavor. I love mint in my cocktails so it had to make an appearance.

This is so good and refreshing, it's perfect for the holidays!! Even better, it's really, really easy to make. How about a holiday brunch or a pitcher of these at a holiday party?


What do you think? Do you want to give it a try? Do you have a favorite drink recipe? I want to hear about it.

Be sure to like the Sierra Mist Natural facebook page and share your favorite cocktail recipe on the Mixology tab.

      I like chocolate martinis- raspberry vodka mixed with creme de cocoa and finished with a chocolate truffle

    33. carol lewis says

      I just like cherry liquer and sometimes add 7 up. Wierd, huh. Or sweet wine with soda. Real simple.

      That Sierra Mist Natural Citrus Cooler sounds really good. My favorite is a pina colada. Thanks for having this contest and Happy New Year!

    46. Sandra K321 says

      My husband’s aunt always made us old fashions with lots of fresh fruit and muddlers to smoosh the fruit. I don’t know what was in them but they were good.

    56. Vicki D. says

      My favorite cocktail is a gin martini. I like Tangueray Gin, so I put in two shots with some ice. Put a dash of dry vermouth over the top. Put a couple of big olives in it. Sit back, sip this drink, and enjoy!

    59. Lyndsey R. says

      Mine is easy. Marshmellow flavored vodka and Rootbeer! YUM!

    66. Ingrid Urena says

      Yumm on these! But my fav cocktail is a sangria made with 50% less sugar lemonade and a personal size merlot bottle from shutter home. Just add apples cut in squares, and yumm! 🙂

      I like Sierra Mist and use it in my holiday recipes. It is great to use in the crockpot while cooking ham.

      Not sure if it would be considered a cocktail, but I like me some vodka and orange juice. sweepmorey at gmail dot com

    90. Anissa says

      I am not a big drinker so my fav drink is Sierra Mist w/ Cranberry juice, a twist of lime and some frech pineapple. Yum!

    97. Amyc says

      Favorite cocktail is Sierra Mist with Cranberry juice and a wedge of lime. This can also add vodka for an adult cocktail!

    124. spirit_kim says

      My favorite cocktail recipe would be the Vodka Gimlet at Ivy’s in L.A.. I do not have the recipe but, it is tasty.

    126. Samantha Dycus says

      My favorite cocktail is a “Chocolate Covered Cherry” and I WISH I knew how to make a good one.

    156. jennifer says

      My favorite drink is Orange Vodka mixed with Pomegrante Juice. I’m sure it would be even better with a splash of Sierra Mist.

    174. Angela H says

      I don’t drink all that often but I do love a strawberry daiquiri or margarita.

      thisisme79 @ gmail dot com

    188. Natasha Hudnall says

      I cant drink alcohol – but I love to take 1/4 cranberry juice and 3/4 Sierra Mist…. Tastes sooo YUMMY! Guess you could add vodka to it or a schnaups.

    205. Julie M. says

      This looks like a delicious holiday cocktail Julie! I hope you’re having a wonderful holiday week. happy new years to you and your family!

    208. tamatha hunter says

      I am a big bloody mary fan but I make it with 1/2 V8 & 1/2 bloody mary mix so it isnt too spicy. A splash of green olive juice alone with a couple of olives, some celery salt & a stalk of celery makes it perfect.

    215. Vanessa says

      I had a coffee cocktail once at a baby shower and I loved it! I wish I could remember what was in it. momlovesdeals at gmail dot com

    220. Debbie C says

      It’s not really a cocktail recipe but it is my favorite summer drink. I love real Italian Limoncello liqueur and Sierra Mist in a tall frosty glass. Limoncello and Sierra Mist are absolutely perfect together. Sierra Mist has something a little more zesty than other lemon-lime sodas.

    223. Lucy Schwartz says

      I like Brandy Slush. It is easy to make and readdy in the freezer for your next party. not fancy but really good.

    224. Jennifer R says

      I like Ginger vodka and a citrus based carbonated soda over ice but I am going to try the above for the Sierra Mist Citrus Cooler. reejen at comcast dot net

    241. CMC says

      Around here, the favorite Christmas cocktail is a frozen mudslide, and nobody makes ’em like my mom!

    251. Cori Westphal says

      OMG I totally make almost that same Sierra Mist recipe, but I didn’t know it was actually a recipe! I thought I made it up! LOL I also like to take Sierra Mist, cranberry juice, vodka, and a bit of fresh lemon. Soo yummmy!

      coriwestphal at msn dot com

    276. Pam Schad says

      My favorite is a frozen pina colada that I keep in the freezer and can serve when ever I need to. It is one fifth of rum, one 46 oz. can of pineapple juice, and one jar of cream of coconut. Mix together and freeze. When you serve put a scoop of frozen mix in a glass and fill with Sierra Mist. YUMM!!

    287. Cassy says

      My favorite cocktail is a plain old malibu bay breeze.

      P.S. That Sierra Mist Natural Citrus Cooler looks delicious!

    293. Marie says

      I don’t drink much alcohol so I usually have a virgin Bloody Mary, my DH is more likely to make cocktails, especially martinis

    303. Deb Anderson says

      I love Kahlua, Amaretto, and half & half. Can’t have them too often, but the taste is out of this world!!

    310. Karen Lynch says

      My favorite cocktail is Sweet and Sour mixer with SIerra Mist Cranberry Juice and Vodka. Not sure of the name anymore, as I make them at home.

      In a bar/restaurant I order Vodka Tonics.

    316. Suzanne K says

      I don’t drink so I don’t have a favorite cocktail recipe, but if I did, it would be fruity, maybe with blackberry juice and/or muddled blackberries!

    321. Kelly D says

      I like any tropical tasting cocktails, like Baybreezes which I believe is vodka, pineapple juice and cranberry juice.

    345. katfam says

      I don’t drink alcohol, but I love to mix cranberry juice with gingerale or sprite to make a spritzer.

    364. Hannah says

      I’m not much of a drinker, and we’re just slowly starting to stock are bar. But my hubby’s favorite drink is a mojito – only he cheats and buys the pre-made stuff 🙂

    365. syndel valle says

      My favorite cocktail is one that my friend made me: Vanilla vodka, cheery soda and a splash of lemon juice 🙂 Yum!

    373. Jessie C. says

      I like Holiday Frozen Cranberry Margaritos
      1 (10-oz.) can frozen mojito mix
      3/4 cup tequila
      1/4 cup whole-berry cranberry sauce
      2 tablespoons orange liqueur
      2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
      Ice

    375. Dana says

      My favorite has always been mulled wine-not sure if this counts as a cocktail and my backup is margaritas.

    427. Stacy says

      I got hooked on rum punch during our vacation in Key West- OJ, pineapple juice, rum and a little grenadine. YUM!

    433. Margaret Smith says

      We make a drink using
      3 oz orange juice
      3 oz white wine
      1 oz sierra mist
      poured on top of ice.
      It’s quite tasty and refreshing.

    436. Melissa says

      I am going to try this for Christmas dinner. I have been looking for a new recipe. I will be leaving out the alcohol though.

      I tried your Cranberry Sierra Mist and put a little orange juice in it. It was pretty good but this sounds better. I also haven’t been able to find the Cranberry Sierra Mist since Thanksgiving so I need to find a year round go to mixer. I can’t wait to give it a try.

    459. Jenne says

      My favorite cocktail is called the Sweetest Torment

      1 part gin
      1 part vodka
      1 part light rum
      1 part triple sec
      1 part chambord
      1 part midori
      a splash of coke
      grenadine till it’s pink
      splash of sweet and sour
      two cherries and a lime.

      It was my signature drink when I used to bar-tend.

    476. hminnesota says

      I am non alcoholic – my fave mocktail recipe is pina colada-
      6 oz Fresh Pineapple juice
      2 oz Coconut cream
      1 cup Ice (crushed)

      Thanks

      I love Prosecco with a few frozen raspberries added to the glass!! Simple and the berries look so festive at the bottom of the glass.
