Cocktail Ingredients
- 1 cup cherry 7UP
- 4 tbsp cranberry syrup (see recipe below)
- Cold Ogio Prosecco, to top off each glass
- 12 fresh cranberries, divided into 4 sets of 3
- 4 toothpicks
Cranberry Syrup
- 2 cups fresh cranberries
- 1/4 cup cherry 7UP
- 1/8 cup sugar
Instructions
- Prepare Cranberry Syrup/Chutney: Combine 2 cups fresh cranberries, 1/4 cup cherry 7UP, and 1/8 cup sugar in a small pot. Cook over medium heat for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture reduces and thickens. Remove from heat and strain the liquid through a fine mesh sieve to separate the smooth syrup from the cranberry chutney. Reserve the chutney for a tasty appetizer if desired. Allow the syrup to cool for at least 15 minutes before using.
- Mix Cocktail: In a mixing cup, combine 1 cup cherry 7UP with 4 tablespoons of the cooled cranberry syrup. Stir gently to blend the flavors.
- Serve: Divide the cocktail mixture evenly between 4 chilled champagne glasses.
- Top Off and Garnish: Carefully top each glass with cold Ogio Prosecco to add fizz and sparkle. Skewer 3 fresh cranberries on each toothpick and place them atop the glasses as a festive garnish. Serve immediately and enjoy the refreshing cranberry fizz!
Notes
- For best flavor, use fresh cranberries and chill your prosecco and glasses before serving.
- The cranberry chutney left after straining can be served warm or cold as a delicious appetizer or condiment alongside meats or cheeses.
- Adjust the sweetness of the syrup by increasing or decreasing the sugar amount based on your taste preferences.
- This cocktail is best served immediately after adding prosecco to maintain the fizz.
