Holiday And New Year’s Eve Drink Recipe Ideas That Sparkle
I love a sparkling drink to celebrate the holidays and New Years! The Cranberry 75 recipes calls for cranberry simple syrup which you can make ahead of time by adding 1 cup of cranberries, 1 cup of water and 1 cup of sugar to a sauce pan and allowing it to simmer for 10-15 minutes. Don’t allow it to boil. Simply strain and chill before using. You can store the extra cranberry simple syrup in the fridge. If gin is not your favorite type of alcohol, you can exchange it for a different type of alcohol. The Sparkling Rosemary Cider calls for rosemary, sparkling apple cider and vodka. It’s truly very easy to make so you can focus on your guests.
