Cranberry Fizz Cocktail

This colorful and bubbly cocktail is the perfect way to celebrate the holidays!

I love how sparkly everything is this time of year. Twinkling lights on the Christmas tree, icicles reflecting the cold afternoon sun and my absolute favorite… sugar dusted cranberries in my sparkling champagne cocktail!

It’s such a pretty garnish but it even serves a purpose… as the sugar melts off of the frozen cranberries into the cocktail, it adds a subtle sweetness

And it’s super simple.  Add some fresh cranberries to a fine sieve, run under cool water and shake off the excess water.  Add the cranberries to a small bowl of white sugar, roll around and stick in your freezer until it’s time to serve the drinks

For each drink, fill an 8 ounce glass with ice and add 1/2 cup of cranberry juice, 1/4 cup of orange juice, 2 ounces of vodka and top with a splash of champagne

Garnish with the frozen, sugar dusted cranberries and an orange twist

Looks like a holiday celebration to me!

Cheers!
