Ingredients

Spiced cranberry juice
  • 1 cup cranberry juice (240ml)
  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • 1 whole star anise
  • 2 whole cloves
Other ingredients
  • 2 tablespoons Amarena cherry syrup
  • prosecco
  • ice
Garnish
  • orange zest twist (optional)

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Add the cranberry juice and spices to a saucepan and bring to simmer. Once simmering turn off the heat and let it cool completely. The longer you leave this to infuse the stronger it’ll taste. I like to leave it overnight but it can be used as soon as it’s cold.
  2. Add ice to a tall tumbler or wine glass. Add 60ml (4 tablespoons) of spiced cranberry juice and 2 tablespoons of Amarena cherry syrup.
  3. Top up with Prosecco and stir well. Garnish with a twist of orange zest, serve.

Notes

  • Serving sizes - 1 cup of cranberry juice (240ml) is enough for 4 cocktails in total. You can double this but I recommend doubling the spices too.
  • Let the juice cool - it's important to let the infused cranberry juice cool completely before making the cocktail.
  • Keep the Prosecco chilled - another important note is to make sure the Prosecco is nice and chilled in the fridge before making the cocktail.
  • Prepare it in advance - you can make the infused cranberry juice up to a few days in advance so all you need to do when you're ready to serve is mix everything together. 
  • Serving - I recommend making the cocktail right before serving as you want it cold and extra bubbly.
  • Optional garnish - you can add a twist of orange zest into each glass as garnish (what we have done) but whole cranberries would also work well.
