Red Wine Ginger Berry Cocktail
This gorgeous cocktail is a flavor showstopper: fruity red wine, pomegranate juice, citrus-flavored vodka, blackberry liqueur, honey-ginger syrup, and… (drumroll, please)… mixed berry ice cubes. Boom — holiday spirit in a glass.
It may look too pretty to drink, but you really should; the vodka cuts the sweetness of the wine, syrup, and liqueur just enough so that you can really savor all the flavors.
You can make the mixed-berry ice cubes a couple of days ahead, so when the festivities start, all you have to do is pour and enjoy. To make — just drop a single berry (or slice) in each section of an ice cube tray, add water, then freeze.
Ingredients:
- 1 (750 ml bottle) fruity red wine
- 4 fl. oz. citrus flavored vodka
- 6 fl. oz. unsweetened pomegranate juice
- 2 fl. oz. blackberry liqueur
- 1 cup Honey Ginger Simple Syrup
- Sliced Strawberries (for garnish; optional)
- Blackberries (for garnish; optional)
- Raspberries (for garnish; optional)
- 28 fl. oz. soda water
- 24 Mixed Berry Ice Cubes
Instructions
Here are your instructions:
Combine wine, vodka, pomegranate juice, liqueur, and simple syrup in a large pitcher; mix well. Refrigerate for 2 to 3 hours, or until chilled.
Place a slice of strawberry, a blackberry, and a raspberry on a toothpick. Repeat so that you have 12 garnished toothpicks. Set aside.
Slowly add soda water to wine mixture; mix well.
Place 2 ice cubes in a serving glass; top with cocktail and a garnished toothpick. Serve immediately.
