Every once in a while, you stumble on a recipe that feels like it was always meant to be part of your holiday traditions. This year, that drink for me was the Cranberry Pomegranate Spritz. It’s light, bubbly, sparkly, festive, and ridiculously easy to make.
I initially thought I’d create a cocktail using straight pomegranate juice, but while I was standing in the grocery store aisle, I spotted Ocean Spray’s cranberry pomegranate juice and thought, “Why not try it?” I’m so glad I did, because the flavor turned out even better than I imagined. It is bright, tangy, and the perfect mix for the holidays.
I first made this spritz on Thanksgiving, and honestly, one sip was all it took. I knew immediately this drink was coming with me straight into the rest of the holiday season.
Why I Love This Cocktail So Much
This spritz checks every holiday box:
- Pretty enough for a party, simple enough for weeknights.
- Festive flavors thanks to cranberry + pomegranate.
- Super bubbly, because Prosecco deserves its moment.
- And the best part… A touch of Diamond Dust edible glitter that makes the entire drink shimmer like holiday magic.
It’s the kind of drink that makes your guests think you spent way more time on it than you actually did, which is my favorite kind of recipe.
A Sparkly New Holiday Tradition
This cocktail feels special without being complicated, which is my favorite combination. I’ll be making it all December long, and honestly… it may become my go-to New Year’s Eve drink too.
If you try it (especially with the edible glitter!), let me know what you think. Nothing makes the holidays feel more magical than a shimmering glass and good company.
