For the rimmed glasses

A squeeze of lime juice

Light, clear corn syrup on the outside of the glass rim

Flaked, sweetened coconut and white sanding sugar.

Rimming the glasses can be done ahead and according to Karri, are sturdier if made in advance. Coat, then sit the glass upright to dry.

Mixing your Santa Claus-Mopolitan

Take...

1/2 cup cranberry juice

1/2 cup white peach cranberry juice

1 ounce triple sec

1/2 ounce vodka
