Ingredients

Spiced cranberry juice

  • 1 cup cranberry juice (240ml)
  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • 1 whole star anise
  • 2 whole cloves

Other ingredients

Garnish

  • Orange zest twist (optional)

Instructions

  • 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.
  • Add ice to a tall tumbler or wine glass. Add 60ml (4 tablespoons) of spiced cranberry juice and 2 tablespoons of Amarena cherry syrup.
  • Top up with Prosecco and stir well. Garnish with a twist of orange zest, serve.

Notes

  1. 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.
  2. Stir well - the cherry syrup can sink to the bottom of the glass so make sure to give it a good stir before serving.
  3. Let the juice cool - it's important to let the infused cranberry juice cool completely before making the cocktail.
  4. Keep the Prosecco chilled - another important note is to make sure the Prosecco is nice and chilled in the fridge before making the cocktail.
  5. 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. 
  6. Serving - I recommend making the cocktail right before serving as you want it cold and extra bubbly.
  7. 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.
