Hello, NowOmaha.com readers! Thanksgiving falls on Thursday, November 26 this year, and the host has enough to juggle without playing bartender. This sparkler is built right in the glass, looks beautiful next to the turkey, and works for the aunt who wants something festive and the cousin who wants something strong.
Ingredients:
- 1 oz pear nectar
- 1 oz cranberry juice cocktail
- 1/2 oz orange liqueur (optional)
- 4 oz chilled brut sparkling wine or prosecco
- A few fresh cranberries and a rosemary sprig for garnish
Instructions:
- Drop three cranberries into a chilled flute.
- Add pear nectar, cranberry juice and orange liqueur.
- Slowly top with sparkling wine.
- Tuck in a rosemary sprig.
For a zero-proof version, swap the wine for sparkling white grape juice or ginger ale. Cheers to a full table and second helpings, Omaha!
