Reese Witherspoon Recreates Her Signature Holiday Cocktail on Instagram—and It’s Ridiculously Easy to Make

Grab your Champagne flutes and pop a bottle of bubbly, because Reese Witherspoon is showing us how to make one of her favorite cocktails just in time for the holidays

In a new video posted to Instagram, the Big Little Lies star is dancing to the tune of Ariana Grande’s “Santa Tell Me” and holding what she calls her “signature cocktail.”

While rocking a stylish navy velvet suit (from her clothing line Draper James) and black platform heels, Witherspoon gives fans a step-by-step tutorial on how to make the tasty beverage. The Little Fires Everywhere actress doesn’t give the exact measurements for the drink, buuuut it seems pretty foolproof to us.

In the short clip, she pops a bottle of Champagne and cheerfully says to the camera, “Now, it’s a party!” Then, she pours a generous amount into her flute. (*Pro Reese Tip: More is more*)

The Sweet Home Alabama actress proceeds to reveal her “very important” mixer: a teeny tiny squeeze of a berry. As one final touch, she adds a little bit of flare and drops a whole berry into the cocktail.

In the caption of the video, she took an extra moment to rave about her holiday drink, writing, “It’s the thimble of juice that really sets this one apart.”

This is certainly not the first time the actress has shown us how to make one of her special cocktails. Last June, Witherspoon shared the recipe for her watermelon margaritas.

Now we know what we’re bringing to the next holiday party: berries.
