How to Make Jingle Fizz Cocktail

This Jingle Fizz Cocktail comes together in minutes, leaving you more time to mingle and enjoy!

1. Chill Your Glasses: Place your champagne flutes or coup glasses in the freezer for a few minutes or fill them with ice water while you prepare the drink. This keeps your Sparkling Cocktail colder longer.
2. Combine Liquids: In a cocktail shaker, combine the vodka (if using), cranberry juice, orange liqueur, and fresh lime juice. Add a handful of ice.
3. Shake It Up: Secure the lid on the shaker and shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds until thoroughly chilled.
4. Strain and Top: Strain the mixture evenly into your chilled glasses, filling each glass about halfway.
5. Add the Fizz: Slowly top each glass with the chilled Prosecco, Champagne, or sparkling wine. The fizz will create a beautiful effervescence.
6. Garnish and Serve: Garnish each Jingle Fizz Cocktail with a few fresh cranberries and a sprig of rosemary to mimic holly, and an optional orange peel twist. Serve immediately and enjoy the festive cheer!

Fun Twists & Serving Ideas

• Kid-Friendly Version: For a delightful non-alcoholic “Jingle Pop,” omit the vodka and orange liqueur. Use sparkling white grape juice or ginger ale instead of Prosecco, and a splash of orange juice.
• Spiced Twist: Infuse your cranberry juice with a cinnamon stick or a few star anise pods for an hour or two before mixing for an extra layer of warmth.
• Berry Blast: Muddle a few raspberries or blackberries in the shaker with the other ingredients for a deeper berry flavor and beautiful color.
• Sweet Rim: Rim your glasses with a mixture of sugar and finely ground cinnamon for an extra festive touch. Just moisten the rim with a lime wedge before dipping.
• Batch for a Crowd: Multiply the base ingredients (vodka, cranberry, orange liqueur, lime) and mix in a pitcher. When ready to serve, pour into glasses and top with individual servings of sparkling wine.

Jingle Fizz Cocktail FAQs

Q: Can I make the Jingle Fizz Cocktail ahead of time?
A: You can mix the non-sparkling ingredients (vodka, cranberry, orange liqueur, lime juice) and chill them in a pitcher. Add the sparkling wine and garnishes just before serving to maintain the fizz.

Q: What’s the best sparkling wine to use?
A: Prosecco is a great value option, while Cava also works well. For a more luxurious touch, use Champagne. Choose a Brut or Extra Dry style to balance the sweetness of the other ingredients.

Q: How can I make this drink less sweet?
A: You can use unsweetened cranberry juice or reduce the amount of orange liqueur slightly. A squeeze of extra lime juice can also help cut through the sweetness.

Q: Can I use fresh cranberries that aren’t frozen?
A: Absolutely! Fresh cranberries work wonderfully for garnish. If you want them to look ‘frosted’, you can roll them in a little sugar after dampening them slightly.
