It just wouldn’t be the holidays without a signature, red aperitif, so that’s why we whipped up this chic and delicious Cranberry Vanilla Cocktail! Cranberry is such a classic holiday flavor and when paired with a hint of vanilla and a bit of sparkling wine, it makes for a yummy treat that is almost too good to be true!
- 1.5 oz. Cranberry Juice
- 1.5 oz. Vanilla Vodka
- Sparkling Wine
- Ice
Pour the cranberry juice and vanilla vodka into the cocktail shaker filled with ice and shake until adequately mixed. Any vanilla vodka will work, but we chose Absolut because it has a sweet, yet subtle vanilla flavor so as not to overpower the cranberry juice.
Pour the cranberry vanilla mixed drink into a clear patterned champagne flute.
Top off the cranberry vanilla drink with your sparkling wine. This adds the perfect touch of bubbly deliciousness to your cocktail!
Garnish your cocktail with a few fresh cranberries. This also serves as a tart, yet sweet treat once the cocktail is gone!
