Cocktail Ingredients
- 1 cup cherry 7UP
- 4 tbsp cranberry syrup (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
- Make Cranberry Syrup: Add 2 cups of fresh cranberries, 1/4 cup cherry 7UP, and 1/8 cup sugar into a small pot. Cook over medium heat for about 15 minutes until the mixture reduces and thickens. Strain the liquid into a separate container to obtain a smooth cranberry syrup suitable for cocktails. Reserve the remaining cranberry chutney as an appetizer if desired. Allow the syrup to cool completely for at least 15 minutes before using.
- Prepare the Cocktail: In a mixing cup, combine 1 cup cherry 7UP with 4 tablespoons of the cooled cranberry syrup. Stir gently to blend the flavors. Divide the mixture evenly among 4 champagne glasses.
- Top with Prosecco: Carefully top each glass with cold Ogio Prosecco to add effervescence and a crisp finish to the cocktail.
- Garnish: Thread 3 fresh cranberries onto each toothpick and place it on the rim of each glass to garnish and enhance the drink’s visual appeal.
Notes
- For a stronger cranberry flavor, adjust the amount of cranberry syrup to taste.
- The cranberry chutney left after straining can be served as a tangy appetizer or condiment.
- Ensure the cranberry syrup is fully cooled before mixing with carbonated drinks to maintain fizz.
- Chill the Prosecco and 7UP beforehand for a refreshingly cold cocktail.
- Fresh cranberries can be swapped with frozen if fresh are unavailable, but thaw and drain before use.
