Pomegranate Ginger Sparkler Holiday Cocktail

November 23, 2019 14 Comments

Pomegranate and Ginger Sparkling Cocktail PIN

For a spectacular holiday celebration, include the Pomegranate Ginger Sparkler. As beautiful as this is; it’s also easy for a crowd. Just mix up the ingredients, pour into glasses and top with chilled sparkling wine. Done!

Pomegranate Ginger Sparkler

I love making festive cocktails for the holiday season and sometimes they are the easiest; the sparkling wine component adds so much that the base can be as simple as a favorite liqueur or even a favorite juice. The Pomegranate Ginger Sparkler is the perfect example.

I’ve served this cocktail from Thanksgiving to New Year’s Eve. It’s beautiful, festive and yes, delicious too! It was THE hit at a NYE party I had a couple of years ago; it’s gorgeous and so perfect for the season, it’s certainly time that I brought it out of Archives with new photos and shared it again with you. Something old is new again!

This cocktail is simple to make but so perfectly beautiful. Pomegranate juice, lemon, ginger and sugar are all simmered together for a few minutes then chilled and topped off with champagne or another sparkling wine. Sounds simple right? And it is. Simply the best.

Seriously one of my favorite cocktails for the holidays every year. It’s all about that touch of ginger. And it is just a touch but it adds such a nice little zing to this beauty that makes the end result perfect. The color, the taste, the sparkle…all of it.

It’s perfect for a party too. No dealing with measuring while guests wait, just make a batch and simply pour into glasses and top with chilled Champagne or Prosecco. Whether you’re having guests around your Thanksgiving table or stay up til all hours planning your own European New Years (Midnight in France is only 4pm in Denver!), this should be on your list of have to haves; it’s that good.

I’ve decorated mine with candied lemon slices and they are beautiful but for more ease, you can use a thinly sliced lemon.

I hope you’ll try this for one of  your festivities. I find my guests look most forward to what cocktails I’ll be making so I put my time and attention towards them…and ask them to each bring an appetizer to share. It works for everyone and I love sharing cocktail creations with my neighbors. We all get along so well; hmm, maybe it’s the booze! 🙂

More Holiday Cheer!

My favorite holiday cocktail made with sparkling wine; Champagne, Prosecco, or Cava.

    Beautiful!!! Your house is the place to be for neighborhood parties, I am guessing word is spreading among the nearby homes and you will find your crowd grows with each get together. I am hoping my visiting English relatives will agree to celebrate the UK new year-- 7 hours earlier than ours. I am not one to stay up until midnight and hope my kids are in bed far earlier than that! Have a good one, Barb!

      I'm the only one without kids here so it does make it nice; I can host the party and parents are close by their kidlets. I love that our street is so close; I feel VERY blessed to have had that happen.
