Santa’s Spritzer! The perfect Holiday Cocktail for any party or get together. With only 3 ingredients and optional garnishes, this drink is a breeze to make by the pitcher or individual glass. Festive and delicious, cheers to that!
Step 1:
Grab 5 Champagne glasses and sugar the rim by dipping the champagne glass rim in a shallow bowl or plate of water. Shake off the water slightly, then dip the champagne glass rim in a shallow bowl of sugar. Move the glass around in a circular motion, if needed, to evenly coat the rim.
STEP 2:
Add 1/2 ounce Grand Marnier to each glass.
STEP 3:
Fill 1/3 of each glass up with cranberry pomegranate juice. I like to also add fresh cranberries & pomegranate seeds at the bottom, but this is completely optional.
STEP 4:
Top each glass off with Prosecco or Champagne, either one works great!
Step 5:
Garnish with rosemary twigs and sugared cranberries. For the sugared cranberries, lightly roll them in water. Remove any excess water and skewer 3 cranberries onto a toothpick. Sprinkle sugar over the top to coat.
Step 6: ENJOY!

Notes:
*Can’t find the cran pom juice, that’s okay! Use 1 1/4 cup equal parts cranberry juice and pomegranate juice
**If you were to pick one garnish, my suggestion would be to go with the rosemary. Even though it sits on top, the rosemary adds a wonderful, subtle flavor to the drink!
