Cranberry Wine Spritzer

Method

  1. 1

    Prepare the simple syrup: In a small pot over low heat mix all the ingredients together.

  2. 2

    Cook for around 10 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and let it cool down completely.

  3. 3

    In a tall pitcher combine the cranberry juice, blood orange juice, bourbon and blood orange spiced simple syrup.

  4. 4

    Garnish with some blood orange slices and cinnamon sticks and refrigerate.

  5. 5

    Once you are ready to assembly the cocktails fill a glass with ice. Pour white wine or champagne in half the glass then add the cranberry mix until it is almost fill. Add a splash of club soda, mineral water or sprite if you use wine. If you use champagne there will already be bubbles.

Notes

I love to make the simple syrup and cranberry mix ahead of time. You can keep it refrigerated overnight. If you want to make this alcohol free just omit the bourbon and the wine and you create a cranberry blood orange drink using the simple syrup, club soda and the juices. White and rosé wines are the most popular choices for spritzers, but you can also use red wine. Crisp, dry, and fruity wines like Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Grigio, or Riesling work well.
