Pomegranate and prosecco cocktail ingredients

This fun and fruity cocktail is made with 3 simple ingredients. The beautiful red tones make this a perfect choice for Valentine’s Day or to ring in the New Year! No matter when you drink it, you’ll be cheers-ing to the delicious flavors.

Orange liqueur 

Orange liqueur should be a staple on every bar cart. This sweet orange-flavored liqueur adds a layer of bright citrus to sparkling cocktails, margaritas, or sangria, and can even be sipped on its own as an aperitif or digestif. It’s a delicious ingredient you can turn to when you’re looking for balance in your cocktail.

Cointreau is one of the most popular brands of orange liqueur, as well as Grand Marnier and Triple Sec. If it’s too sweet for your taste or you’re just looking to play with the flavors in this cocktail, replace the orange liqueur with a neutral-flavored spirit, like vodka or white rum.

Pomegranate juice

The sweet and tart juice from the pomegranate fruit is so delightful during the winter! Pomegranates are in season from October through January but you can usually find the juice year-round. You can even try making your own to achieve the freshest flavors in this pomegranate juice cocktail.

Sparkling wine

Any dry sparkling wine, like prosecco or Cava, will give your cocktail a fun fizz while keeping everything in balance. Don’t use anything too sweet or else the flavors will be overwhelming. If you’re feeling fancy, splurge on a bottle of champagne!

Is this sounding a little too boozy for your taste? Simply swap the prosecco for club soda or sparkling water to tone down the alcohol.

Mix up the flavors!

• Instead of pomegranate juice - Use cranberry juice or a 1:1 mix of both.
• Craving more orange flavor? Use a 1:1 mix of pomegranate juice to orange juice.
• Don’t forget the garnish! Decorate each glass with an orange or lemon twist, orange wedge, fresh mint, or pomegranate seeds.
