Cranberry and Rosemary Christmas Spritz
A festive cocktail combining homemade rosemary syrup, gin, cranberry juice and Prosecco with fresh lemon juice for a perfectly balanced Christmas drink.
A festive sparkling cocktail combining prosecco, Cointreau, and pomegranate juice, served over ice balls in champagne saucers for an elegant celebration drink.
This Pomegranate Fizz cocktail is a festive drink that brings a bit of sparkle to any celebration. It combines prosecco with Cointreau and pomegranate juice, creating a drink that is both sweet and tangy. The prosecco gives it the fizz, while the Cointreau adds a subtle citrus note that balances the tartness of the pomegranate beautifully.
The real charm of this cocktail is how simple it is to prepare. You do not need any complicated techniques or specialist bar equipment. Everything goes into a jug, which means you can mix up a batch in minutes and serve it to several people at once. Using large ice balls keeps the drink perfectly chilled without diluting the flavours too quickly, and a silicon mould makes these easy to prepare ahead. Serving in champagne saucers adds a touch of elegance without any fuss.
This cocktail works particularly well for Christmas gatherings because it looks festive and tastes refreshing. The deep red colour from the pomegranate juice gives it a seasonal appearance, and the bubbles make it feel celebratory. It is strong enough to feel special but not so heavy that you cannot enjoy a couple over the course of an evening.
The beauty of this cocktail is that you can make it by the jugful, which is always a good start for entertaining.
You can prepare everything in advance and simply pour when your guests arrive, which takes the pressure off hosting.
Serving Suggestions
Serve in chilled champagne saucers with a large ice ball, or garnish with fresh pomegranate seeds for extra colour and texture.
Variations
For a non-alcoholic version, replace the prosecco with sparkling water and the Cointreau with orange juice. You can also add fresh mint or rosemary for a herbal twist.
