Cranberry Prosecco Cocktail is a festive and refreshing drink that is perfect for any holiday celebration. This bubbly concoction combines the tartness of cranberry juice with the effervescence of Prosecco, creating a delightful and sophisticated beverage that will impress your guests. Whether you are hosting a Christmas party or simply looking to elevate your cocktail game, this Cranberry Prosecco Cocktail is sure to be a hit.
Cranberry Prosecco Cocktail Ingredients
To make this cranberry cocktail, you will need the following ingredients (see the recipe card below for exact amounts):
- Orange liqueur
- Cranberry juice
- Prosecco: Sparkling wine cocktails are quite forgiving with regards to the quality of sparkling used, thus you do not need expensive, top-shelf bottles.
- Fresh cranberries, for garnish
- Fresh rosemary sprig, for garnish
- Sugar
- Lemon
How to Make Cranberry Prosecco
- Pre-chill the bottles of prosecco, juice, and orange liqueur.
- Prepare the garnish by cutting rosemary sprigs to approximately 5 inches and removing the lower leaves. Coat the cranberries with lemon juice and roll in granulated sugar. Pierce 3 cranberries with the bare stem.
- Pour the orange liqueur into a coupe glass.
- Add the cranberry juice.
- Top with the Prosecco.
- Place garnish.
How to Decorate Your Glass
I like to cut ribbon to make a bow and tie it to the glass stem. Do this before pouring the drinks, to prevent spillage. This ribbon from Michael’s is perfect for Christmas. There is a similar red and white striped ribbon on Amazon. Cut the length you need, and then cut the ends into a v-shape. Then tie a bow!
Can I Make this Ahead of Time?
Pre-mix the cranberry juice and orange liqueur and place in a pitcher in the refrigerator. When ready to serve, decant a portion of this into chilled glassware and top with sparkling wine to ensure the drink is as sparkling and lively as possible to serve your guests. Garnish before serving.
Can I Make this Non-Alcoholic?
For a non-alcohol version, omit the orange liqueur and sparkling. Mix the cranberry juice with a nonalcoholic sparkling apple cider, a kombucha, or flavored sparkling water. Garnish the same to create the same festive feel.
Recipe Tips
Do not use ice to chill this cocktail as it will dilute the beverage, instead emphasize that the ingredients should be pre-chilled, preferably overnight.
