Ingredients

1 bottle of Prosecco (750ml)
1 cup of cranberry juice (unsweetened for a tangy flavor)
1/2 cup of orange juice (freshly squeezed for the best taste)
Fresh cranberries and orange slices for garnish
Optional: rosemary sprigs for garnish

Instructions

Step 1: Chill your Prosecco and juices well in the refrigerator for a few hours before mixing to ensure a refreshing and flavorful cocktail.
Step 2: In a large pitcher, gently stir together the cranberry juice and orange juice to blend their flavors without affecting the carbonation.
Step 3: Slowly pour the chilled Prosecco into the pitcher, pouring gently to preserve the bubbles and create a lively, fizzy mixture.
Step 4: Serve the cocktail in glasses garnished with fresh cranberries, orange slices, and a rosemary sprig if desired. Enjoy immediately for the best taste and presentation.

Tips & Variations

Adjust the juice ratios to your taste; add a splash of simple syrup or use sweetened cranberry juice for a sweeter cocktail.

Storage

It’s best to serve this cocktail fresh to retain the Prosecco’s bubbles and crisp flavor. If you need to prepare in advance, mix the juices ahead and keep chilled separately, then add the Prosecco just before serving. Leftover mixed cocktail is not recommended for storage due to loss of carbonation and flavor.

How to Serve

A tall clear glass filled with a bright red, bubbly drink is rimmed with coarse white sugar crystals. Crushed ice fills the glass, and on top, a layer of fresh red cranberries dusted lightly with powdered sugar adds texture. A sprig of green rosemary stands vertically from the drink near a half-moon orange slice placed on the rim. The glass sits on a white marbled surface with scattered cranberries and orange slices softly blurred in the background, creating a fresh and festive feeling. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I use sparkling wine instead of Prosecco?

Yes, any dry sparkling wine like Champagne or Cava can be used as a substitute. The flavor will vary slightly but remain bubbly and festive.

How can I make this cocktail less sweet?

Use unsweetened cranberry juice and freshly squeezed orange juice without added sugar. Avoid adding simple syrup, and adjust juice amounts to taste for a tangier, less sweet drink.
