The holidays are here again – and from Friendsgiving to New Year’s Eve we all deserve to sip something delicious. Here is the only cocktail you need to celebrate every moment – big or small – this holiday season!
The Pomegranate Fizz – a bubbly, refreshing cocktail with a sweet, herbaceous finish. And the best part is if you don’t already have the ingredients, you can easily find them at the grocery store or your local liquor store.
I’m going to be using one of my favorite local vodkas from Northside Distillery here in Cincinnati, but use your favorite (or whatever you have on hand). I have Gran Marnier, but use Cointreau, Triple Sec, or Orange Curaçao if you prefer. I always keep a few splits of Prosecco in the fridge (you never know when you’ll need a glass of bubbles) but use your favorite dry sparkling wine. And if you don’t have Orange Bitters, just skip them – this will still be a delicious cocktail!
Pomegranate Fizz
- Vodka 1 ounce
- Pomegranate Juice 1 ounce
- Orange Liqueur .5 ounce
- Orange Bitters 2-3
- Prosecco
Rim your favorite champagne flute with gold sanding sugar. In a shaker tin combine the Vodka, Pomegranate Juice, Orange Liqueur, and Orange Bitters. Add ice and shake it up. Strain into your flute. Top with your sparkling wine – be careful not to overflow the glass! But if you do, it’s ok. Accidents happen to the best of us! And if you want to be extra, garnish with a sprig of rosemary.
What do you think? Will you be trying the Pomegranate Fizz this holiday season?
