This amazing drink has been one of my most popular holiday cocktails for years, and it is perfect for celebrating with. You may remember it as Cranberry Pomegranate Champagne Cocktail, but also works so well as a Holiday Mimosa. Serve it for breakfast and brunch, or break it out to rock around the Christmas tree at night. Either way, your guests will love it. With pomegranate liqueur, champagne, and cranberry juice, you can create a festive Christmas cocktail everyone will love. For the full recipe, including all measurements, scroll to the recipe card at the bottom of the post.
Champagne: Prosecco or sparkling wine would also work in this recipe. Since the other ingredients have stronger flavors, using a bottle of excellent champagne isn’t necessary here. This recipe would also be fun to try with a sparkling Rose.Cranberry Juice: Be sure to buy the cocktail and not plain cranberry juice. The regular juice is very bitter, but the cocktail variety has a subtle sweetness that works much better in this.Pomegranate Liqueur: A popular brand of pomegranate liqueur is Pama. If you can’t find it at your local grocery store, head to the liquor store. This fruity liqueur is also great in Christmas Sangria and Easy Christmas Punch. To make a weaker drink, use pomegranate juice instead. (Just swap it one for one.)

To rim your champagne flutes with gold sprinkles for extra flair, dip the rim of the glass lightly in corn syrup. Then lightly dip it in a shallow plate of gold sprinkles. Prepare your glasses ahead of time to serve guests as they arrive.
