Welcome to Christmas Drink Saturday…number THREE!
Can’t believe we are already three drinks in. That means only three to go…craziness! Like the last two cocktails (hello Pomegranate Ginger Paloma and The North Pole), today’s drink is another major favorite. This Poinsettia Spritz Punch is totally different from the last two, and well, it involves champagne…yes, yes, YES. It’s called the poinsettia due to its red hue, but it’s really just a fizzy cranberry cocktail with a hit of St. Germain, which is my new obsession, 1) because it feels so fancy and two 2) it’s adds the lightest flora touch that pairs perfectly with the tart cranberries and sweet champagne.
Here’s how this one works. It’s SIMPLE, add everything but the champagne to a pitcher and chill. Then when it’s serving time, just add the champagne and a few fresh cranberries for a festive touch and DONE. Simple as can be and totally delicious. I have a feeling I will be making a lot of these over Christmas. My family loves the pitcher style drinks because the pours just keep coming…YIKES.
Happy first Saturday of December guys! Hope it’s filled with Christmassy things (or whatever holiday you’re celebrating this December), maybe some snow and most definitely some baking. My suggestions would be in the form of this Gingerbread Cake or these 3-Ingredient Nutella Pop Tarts. Then top your day of baking off with some Poinsettia Spritz Punch!!
December weekend perfection!

Love your beautiful coupe glasses! Can you share where you found them?
Thanks Robyn! They are from Anthropologie!
Looks great and very christmasy…but can you eat fresh cranberries?
Hey Steoh! Yes, you can eat fresh cranberries, but they are very tart, which is why you need to pair them with something sweet. The cranberries are more of a garnish, eating them is totally optional. Let me know if you have questions. Thank you!
Oh my gosh! Love how festive this is! Especially loaded with all that cranberry!
Thanks Andrea! Its been a hit around here (: They didn’t last long!
Oooooh this sounds very good!!! I’m having family over for Christmas this year, might give this one a go!!

So festive! This is what I want under the tree Christmas morning!
YES yes! Exactly what i was thinking!!
Hey Tieghan! Just saw your post and was trying to figure out a specialty cocktail to serve at The Mohicans (www.themohicans.net) staff party tonight. This cocktail looks perfect! It’s very Christmasy and will match the red at The Little Red Tree house. Love your holiday ideas and we can’t wait for you to come and do a “tiny “house” cooking session at one of the tree houses!
Wait, Mrs. Mooney is making a recipe from me?! Normally it’s the other way around! haha! Hope this was well loved by everyone! 🙂
And yes, my mom told me about that, cannot wait!! Just let me know!
Oh my days, these look so good! Is it back I want to drink one at 12pm on a Saturday morning…
