Ingredients
Method
Prepare the Glassware: If desired, rim the glass with icing or water, then roll in decorative sugar or sprinkles. This adds a festive touch and makes the drink feel special.
Pour the Sparkling Wine: Pour the chilled prosecco into the glass, filling it halfway.
Add Cranberry Juice: Top off the prosecco with an equal amount of chilled cranberry juice. Stir gently to combine and maintain the bubbles.
Add Optional Orange Liqueur: If using, add 2 oz of orange liqueur (like Cointreau, Triple Sec, or Grand Marnier) for an added citrusy depth.
Garnish: Place a few frozen cranberries in the drink to keep it chilled without diluting the flavor. Add a fresh rosemary sprig to release its aromatic oils. Optionally, twist an orange peel over the glass for extra citrus aroma.
Serve Immediately: Serve in champagne flutes to preserve the bubbles. You can also set out a garnish station for guests to personalize their drinks.
Notes
- For a less sweet option: Use 100% cranberry juice and a drier prosecco to avoid extra sweetness. You can adjust the sweetness by adding a small splash of simple syrup if desired.
- For a non-alcoholic version: Use sparkling water or sparkling apple cider instead of prosecco and omit the orange liqueur.
- Make ahead: Mix the cranberry juice and orange liqueur ahead of time. Add the prosecco just before serving to preserve the bubbles.
