There’s something magical about a holiday cocktail that feels as festive as the season itself, and our Cranberry Spritz Cocktail is exactly that kind of sip. Bright, bubbly, and effortlessly elegant, it brings together the tart pop of cranberry, the citrusy bittersweet notes of Aperol (or the softer floral profile of Lillet Rosé), and the celebratory sparkle of Prosecco. It’s the kind of drink that looks stunning on a holiday table, tastes refreshing without being heavy, and comes together in just minutes, perfect for cozy gatherings, festive parties, or any moment that calls for a little seasonal sparkle.
INGREDIENTS
(serves 1–2)
2 oz. Aperol
2 oz. cranberry juice
3 oz. Prosecco (or sparkling wine)
splash of club soda
orange slice, for garnish
fresh or sugared cranberries and rosemary sprig, for garnish
METHOD
Fill glass with ice. Add Aperol and cranberry juice. Top with Prosecco and a splash of club soda. Stir gently to combine. Garnish with an orange slice, rosemary sprig, and sugared cranberries.
Tip: Not a fan of Aperol’s bittersweet flavor? Swap it for Lillet Rosé for a smoother, fruit-forward twist.
