Ingredients
Scale
- 1 oz Cointreau, or other orange liqueur
- 2 oz 100% cranberry juice (chilled; see Notes)
- 1/2 glass champagne or prosecco (6 tablespoons; see Notes)
- For the garnish: 1 rosemary sprig, whole cranberries
Instructions
- Pour the Cointreau and cranberry juice into a champagne flute (see Notes if the cranberry juice is not chilled).
- Top off the glass with champagne (no need to measure). Garnish and serve. (Note: You can also make a large batch of cointreau and cranberry juice ahead if desired, then measure out 6 tablespoons per glass.)
Notes
If the cranberry juice is not chilled, place the Cointreau and cranberry juice in a cocktail shaker with ice. Shake 15 seconds until cold. Strain the liquid into a champagne flute. (You can skip this step if the cranberry juice is well chilled.)
You’ll get about 8 to 10 drinks per 1 750 ml bottle of champagne.
Make it non-alcoholic by using non-alcoholic sparkling wine, and use 1 oz orange juice and 1 tsp simple syrup in place of the Cointreau.
