The holidays are a perfect time to add a new twist to your favorite sips. In this case, I took a simple glass of Prosecco and made it into a Cranberry Orange Spritz.
This easy recipe is perfect for entertaining (it can easily be made into big batches), and its festive look and flavor is perfect for the holiday season.
Ingredients (makes one serving)
5 oz Prosecco
¼ of a navel orange
1/8 cup of unsweetened cranberry juice
1 sprig of rosemary
Orange zest for garnish
Squeeze the juice of the orange into your glass and add the Prosecco and cranberry juice. Stir everything together with your rosemary sprig and garnish with orange zest.
This cocktail is a perfect example of how adding herbs to your drink can really be what makes it great. In this case, smelling the aroma of the rosemary while you sip the tart Cranberry Orange Spritz gives the drink a balanced, well-rounded flavor. This is a perfect example of how aroma enhances the tasting experience! Garnishing with rosemary gives the drink a rustic, holiday look as well.
Cheers to the holiday season! Did you give this recipe a try? Let me know in the comments below!
