Modica’s shimmering holiday cocktail is the gift that keeps on giving.

The Louisville-based drink mixer brand recently posted a how-to video for its Christmas Tree Drink that has gone viral, garnering 2.7+ million views Instagram.

Rather than emulate the flavor of a Christmas tree in a cocktail, Modica built a tree in a glass and topped it with a cocktail-filled ornament.

The boozy decoration is meant to be flipped over, pouring the cocktail into the glass. Talk about filling someone with holiday spirit.

The Cucumber Aloe Margarita-based drink is served in a clear ornament, which “hangs” on top of a glass filled with ice, cranberries, and a sprig of rosemary.
