Poinsettia Tips

What kind of cranberry juice should you use to make poinsettia drinks?

The cranberry juice to use in your poinsettia drinks is personal preference. The recipe calls for cranberry juice, which suggests pure cranberry juice and not a cranberry juice cocktail. Cranberry juice cocktail typically contains a mix of juices along with cranberry juice, and most are sweetened. This choice will create a poinsettia drink that's a bit sweet. If tart and tangy is your preference, then pure cranberry juice is the perfect choice. The triple sec in the recipe will add a touch of sweetness but won’t diminish the tartness of the cranberry juice.

Do you need to chill each ingredient before assembling the poinsettia drinks?

Chilling ingredients ahead of time is optimal for the tastiest poinsettia. (Psst! This jellied champagne dessert will make good use of any leftover bubbly.)

What else can you use to garnish poinsettia drinks?

Place a dish of these sugared cranberries next to your poinsettia drinks for a festive garnish.

Can you make a batch of poinsettia drinks ahead of time?

If you're looking to prepare poinsettia drinks ahead of time, mix up the juice and triple sec, then pop the mixture in the fridge until party time. Hold off on adding the champagne until ready to serve or else it might lose its sparkle. Try some of these champagne drinks.
