Steps

Step 1: combine the punch

There’s nothing fancy or fussy about this punch. It’s a mixture of the whole lot we love most about wintertime and the vacations.

First, combine up the bottom of the punch: Vodka, Cointreau (orange liqueur), pomegranate juice, and lime juice. A conventional cosmo has vodka, Cointreau, cranberry juice, and lime juice. I swapped out the cranberry juice for pomegranate juice, primarily as a result of I want the sweeter style of pomegranates.

If you’re mixing up the mocktail model, use pomegranate juice, orange juice, lime juice, and apple cider vinegar.

Chill the punch till you’re able to serve.

Step 2: add the bubbles

While you’re able to serve friends, you possibly can add ice to your punch bowl and pour over the champagne.

In the event you’re mixing up the mocktail, pour over the ginger beer.

Though champagne will not be conventional, I like the glint and sweetness it naturally provides to every drink.

Step 3: serve

I like to make every drink particular with a sprig of sugared rosemary and a handful of pomegranate arils.

It’s so fairly!

I’m planning to make this cosmo for upcoming Christmas events. It’s loopy that we’re already a full week into December. Vacation events are in full swing!

Kick off the vacation week in the easiest way attainable with a festive vacation cocktail in hand!
