Ingredients Equipment Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup freshly squeezed orange juice preferably chilled
  • 2 tablespoons cranberry juice concentrate adjust to taste
  • 1 cup sparkling wine chilled and dry preferred
  • a handful fresh cranberries for garnish and addition to drink
  • fresh sprig of thyme for garnish

Equipment

  • Champagne flutes
  • Small pitcher
  • Juicer
  • Spoon or stirrer
  • Chilling tray or freezer

Method
 

  1. Chill your champagne flutes in the freezer for at least 15 minutes to keep the drink icy and festive.
  2. In a small pitcher, combine the freshly squeezed orange juice with the cranberry juice concentrate and stir well until fully blended. This mixture should be vibrant and fragrant, with a hint of tartness.
  3. Fill each chilled glass halfway with the orange and cranberry juice mixture, allowing the liquid to swirl and catch the light with a bright, ruby hue.
  4. Add a few fresh cranberries into each glass, letting them float on the surface for a pop of color and texture.
  5. Gently top each glass with chilled sparkling wine, pouring slowly to preserve the bubbles and create a lively, fizzy effect.
  6. Garnish each drink with a sprig of thyme and a few extra cranberries for a festive look and aromatic touch.
  7. Serve immediately while the bubbles are lively, and enjoy the sparkling, tart celebration in your glass.
