Tart, citrus-y and effervescent, this Orange & Pomegranate Prosecco Holiday Cocktail is the perfect sparkly sipper for all your festive gatherings!
Hi-ya friends! How has the week been treating you? Of course I hope it has been merry and oh-so bright!
Not to be a Debbie Downer, but my week has been blah. The weather has been dreadfully dreary and all the holiday craze has got me stressed like Scrooge.
Honestly, I could not be more thankful that today is #ThirstyThursday!
Regardless of how your week is panning out, I have a festively fun cocktail to put a little holiday cheer in your step (and mine)!
Because, Tis the season to be jolly… and that is a heck of a lot easier to do with a cocktail in hand. 😉

In my humble opinion the holidays just aren’t THE HOLIDAYS without some serious sparkle. Tinsel covered trees, twinkly lights, decorative sugar covered desserts, glittery mistletoe, and metallic sequined party dresses… you get the picture.
But the sparkle should NOT stop there.
I mean, holidays = ALL the sparkle humanly possible.
Basically, it should look like Tinker Bell and her pixie dust threw your party and brought it back to the dazzling disco ball era. Think studio 54, glitz and glamour.
So, obviously your holiday cocktails also NEED to shine!! I’ve paired up with Lunetta Prosecco to bring you a cocktail that is light, fun, elegant and worthy of ALL your holiday celebrations.
But, before we get to the cocktail, let me give you a little 4-1-1 on Lunetta Prosecco. Lunetta is part of the Cavit Collection and their Prosecco makes the absolute BEST champagne alternative. With aromas of apple and peach, their sparkling wine is perfect for pouring and sipping.
But, since this IS the holidays, we are going to take that Lunetta Prosecco and jazz things up a bit…
Orange & Pomegranate Prosecco Holiday Cocktail
This cocktail is what I will be cheering with all holiday season… and probably well into the New Year.
This libation is tart from the pomegranate, citrusy from the blood orange liqueur and the Lunetta Prosecco adds a refreshing, effervescent crispness.
This sparkly sipper is garnished with fresh mint, pops of jeweled pomegranate arils and served with a glitzy, glittery sugared rim.
Festive, fizzy and fun, this holiday cocktail is sass in a glass.
Recipe Notes:
- Do NOT skip the garnishes. Normally I say garnishes are completely optional, but since this IS the holidays, I firmly believe you should just go all out. The sweet, sugary rim perfectly balances the tartness of the cocktail, while the pomegranate arils add a touch of pizazz and the mint adds a nice freshness (along with some festive green color).
- Instead of making this as individual cocktails, you could serve this out of a pitcher or as a party punch. To do so, simply add the liqueur, pomegranate juice, pomegranate arils and a few mint leaves to a pitcher or bowl and place it in the refrigerator. Line the rims of a few glasses with the sugar and set aside. When ready to serve add the prosecco and let your guest help themselves.
Add sparkle and flare to your holiday season with this Orange and Pomegranate Prosecco Holiday Cocktail.
Until next week friends, cheers – to making spirits bright.

this is Christmas in a glass! I require sparkle in my holiday cocktails and this has it all. I’ll happily be sipping this all holiday season!
These are beautiful and cheery!!! And no, of course I wouldn’t skip the garnish….that’s half the fun. I always need a good excuse to keep proseco in the house.
I am so with you on the sparkle – we got those new-fangled laser lights for our front door and I can’t stop going outside in the freezing cold to admire them! Meantime, this looks like the PERFECT holiday cocktail, and I am seriously in love with the glasses! Pinning! xoxo
What a festive cocktail! So pretty in those flutes…and we’re big fans of all things that sparkle, especially when they’re named prosecco. 😉
Yes, I am ALL for sparkle around the holidays. Sometimes I think I should get one of those kitschy colored trees because I like big and bold. Tinsel is thrown all over my tree like it’s going out of style and I LOVE my huge, 1950s-inspired colored Christmas tree bulbs. Subtle my tree is not. 😉 But I love it.
And I am also loving this! How funny. The other day I was in the liquor store getting brandy for mixed drinks and I stared down a bottle of Prosecco, trying my hardest to think of an excuse to buy it. And here it is! This sounds wonderful!
