Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup cranberry juice chilled
  • 1 cup orange juice chilled
  • 3 cup sparkling wine 24 ounces, dry, chilled
  • 16 cranberries fresh
  • 8 rosemary sprigs small, fresh

Equipment

  1. Pour 2 tablespoons cranberry juice and 2 tablespoons orange juice into each of 8 champagne flutes.
  2. Slowly top each flute with 6 tablespoons sparkling wine and stir gently once.
  3. Garnish each drink with 2 cranberries and 1 rosemary sprig, and serve immediately.

Notes

Keep the juices chilled and assemble just before serving to preserve the bubbles. Store assembled leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 1 day; freezing is not recommended. For an alcohol-free option, use nonalcoholic sparkling wine.
