Notes
- Using cranberry juice allows this to serve as a casual brunch or mid-afternoon cocktail. If you prefer a stronger holiday drink, swap out the cranberry juice for cranberry-flavored vodka or cranberry wine.
- You can also substitute pomegranate juice, orange juice, or even some limeade for the cranberry juice.
- You're going to want plenty of ice on hand for this recipe, and those cute springs of rosemary are not totally necessary but add a festive touch.
- Sugared cranberries threaded onto a cocktail toothpick makes for a festive holiday garnish.
- Sparkling rose can be used instead of prosecco or champagne.
- We use cranberry ginger ale in this holiday punch. However, if you can't find it, regular ginger ale, or a lemon-lime soda such as Sprite or 7-Up will work just fine.
