Poinsettia Cocktails
Cranberry, orange liqueur and bubbly. As pink and pretty as the flower, and made right in the glass.
Okay, ladies, the poinsettia is the prettiest Christmas cocktail, and it’s made right in the glass. Cranberry, a little orange liqueur and bubbly, with a few cranberries and a sprig of rosemary.
You’ll need
Makes 1; one bottle of bubbly makes about 6. About 2 minutes.
- 1 oz cranberry juice
- ½ oz orange liqueur, like Cointreau or triple sec
- 4 oz chilled prosecco or champagne
- A few fresh cranberries and a small sprig of rosemary
Make it
Pour the cranberry juice into a flute.
Add the orange liqueur.
Top slowly with chilled prosecco.
Drop in a few cranberries, add a sprig of rosemary and serve.
Lady M’s tips
- Freeze the cranberries and they keep the drinks cold.
- For a mocktail, use sparkling white grape juice and skip the liqueur.
- Pour the bubbly down the side of the glass so it doesn’t foam over.
On my table
Pink flutes on a gold tray, right next to the Merry & Bright mat.
That’s it, and you’re ready for game night. Bird Bam Cheers! ...and happy mahj-ing!
