Cranberry Spritz
A Cranberry Spritz balances
sweet, tart cranberry with
bitter, citrusy liqueur and the
bright effervescence of
sparkling wine, making it a
delightful, celebratory, and
sippable cocktail.
Cranberry Syrup
100 g caster sugar
3 tbsp fresh cranberries or
2 tbsp dried cranberries
120 ml water
Cocktail
Ice
2 tbsp vodka
3 tbsp cranberry syrup
Prosecco, to top up
Garnish
Lime slices, to serve
Long sprig of rosemary, to serve
Caster sugar and a piece of
lemon, to decorate the rim
of the glass
1. To make the syrup, combine all
the ingredients in a saucepan
over high heat and bring to a
boil, reduce the temperature
and simmer for about 8 to 10
minutes until a light syrup
forms. Remove from the heat
and leave to cool completely
before using. Remove the
cranberries once cold and pour
the syrup into a sterile glass
bottle.
2. To sugar the glass, place caster
sugar on a plate. Run a piece of
lemon around the rim of the
flute glass then dip it into the
sugar. Leave it to dry.
3. To make the cocktail, pour in
the cranberry syrup, followed
by the vodka and ice and give
it a stir. Top up with Prosecco,
add lime slices and a sprig of
rosemary and serve.
