This Sparkling Cranberry Pomegranate Cocktail can be made both spiked or unspiked and is a delicious addition to any party!
Sparkling Cranberry Pomegranate Cocktail recipe is perfect for the holidays or New Year’s party. You can make versions that include alcohol and/or which do not include alcohol.
This cocktail is great because it is so refreshing and light. It is best to make them as close to when they will be served as possible so that the fizz from the sparkling wine or carbonated drink does not diminish.
If you are looking for mocktails, these ones are lots of fun: 4 New Year’s Eve Mocktails for Kids, More Mocktails for Kids, or Cotton Candy Mocktail. If you are looking for more cocktails, this Holiday Sangria is a big hit.
Happy holiday entertaining!
