Ingredients
- 3 ounces cranberry juice (90 milliliters), see note 1
- 1 ounce orange liqueur (30 milliliters), see note 2
- champagne to fill up the glass, see note 3
- sugared cranberries (optional), see note 4
Instructions
- Pour cranberry juice into a champagne flute. Add orange liqueur and top it up with champagne/sparkling wine.
- Optional: garnish with fresh or sugared cranberries.
- Serve right away!
Notes
- Cranberry juice can be substituted with pomegranate juice.
- I used Cointreau liqueur. You can use triple sec. If for some reason you don’t want to use it, you can omit it. You will turn it into a cranberry mimosa.
- Use any chilled sparkling wine you like - champagne, prosecco, cava, crémant, … Count with 2-3 ounces per glass. I used 7-ounce champagne glasses (210 milliliters). 1 bottle of champagne/sparkling wine should be enough for 9-11 servings. I used demi-sec as we don’t like brut. If you prefer brut, go ahead and use it.
- Garnish is optional. Some ideas - Sugared cranberries, fresh cranberries, orange zest, rosemary sprig.
