      Why you'll love this holiday cocktail recipe

      • Naturally gluten free and dairy free.
      • Easy to make.
      • Can be prepared ahead of time.
      • Perfect flavors for the holiday season.

      Ingredients

      Ingredients for a cranberry prosecco on a white table.
      • Cranberries - You'll want to use fresh cranberries to make the cranberry syrup. If you absolutely cannot find them, then use frozen cranberries, but reduce the water a bit to account for the extra liquid from the berries.
      • Sugar
      • Water
      • Lime
      • Prosecco - Use your favorite brand of sparkling wine. If you need help choosing a prosecco for your cocktail, I suggest this post, what is prosecco? from my friend Joanne, at Ugly Duckling Bakery.

      See recipe card for ingredient quantities.

      How to Make a Cranberry Prosecco Cocktail

      Cranberries, water and sugar combined in a small pot.

      STEP 1: Combine the water, sugar and cranberries in a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat until the cranberries pop and the mixture turns sort of jammy. About 10 minutes.

      Cooked cranberry syrup being strained through a sieve.

      STEP 2: Strain the cranberry mixture through a mesh sieve. Let the syrup cool to room temperature before using.

      STEP 3: Add cranberry syrup and lime juice to your glass and top with chilled prosecco.

      To Make Ahead

      You can prepare the cranberry syrup up to three days in advance of serving.  After the sieving step, transfer the cranberry syrup to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator until ready to serve.

      Can you make this cocktail without alcohol?

      Sure. Substitute your favorite sparkling water of lemon-lime soda for the sparkling wine.
