Citrus + Pomegranate Champagne Spritz

Man do I love a holiday cocktail. I shared how to make this drink for one on Instagram (@mydailydelish) but this recipe shows how to easily serve a crowd. This yummy concoction marries the sparkliness of champagne with the rich, fruity notes of pomegranate, creating a drink that's not only visually stunning but also a celebration in every sip. Now doesn’t that sounds amazing?! You can customize this by swapping the blood orange for regular navel orange or grapefruit, and cranberry juice is just as delicious as pomegranate, it will just change the flavor a bit. But feel free to move things around depending on what you have in your fridge!
