What You’ll Need

Ingredients (makes 1 cocktail):

  • 3 oz champagne or sparkling wine (Prosecco works too if you’re feeling Italian vibes)
  • 2 oz pomegranate juice (fresh is amazing, but bottled works because who has time to juice pomegranates?)
  • 1 oz orange liqueur (like Cointreau or Grand Marnier – the good stuff, because you’re worth it)
  • Pomegranate seeds for garnish (aka the edible glitter of cocktails)
  • Optional: a sprig of rosemary for a fancy touch that makes it look like you spent hours planning this.

How to Make It

Chill your glass. Pop your champagne flute in the freezer for 5 minutes. Cold glass = better bubbles.

Mix the juice and liqueur. In a small shaker or mixing glass, measure out the pomegranate juice and orange liqueur. Stir gently because no one wants a liqueur splash zone.

Pour and pop. Pour the juice mixture into your chilled flute glass, then slowly top it with champagne. Go slow! Pouring too fast = fizzy overflow = not cute.

Garnish like a pro. Sprinkle in some pomegranate seeds. Want to go extra? Perch a sprig of rosemary on the rim. It smells amazing and makes you look like a Pinterest genius.

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Add Cointreau and pomegranate juice to a mixing glass and stir gently
  2. Pour into a flute and top of champagne
  3. Add pomegranate seeds and a rosemary sprig as garnish

Why This Cocktail Works Every Time

The pomegranate juice brings a tart, fruity kick that perfectly balances the champagne’s crisp bubbles. The orange liqueur? That’s the secret sauce that ties it all together with a whisper of sweetness and citrus.

If you love sparkling drinks, this recipe is a must-try for celebrations. For another simple and elegant cocktail, try mastering the French 75 with just four ingredients.

Serve this beauty at brunch, holiday parties, a holiday-themed movie night or even on a random Tuesday night because you deserve a little sparkle. ✨

Pro Tips for Cocktail Glory

Go for a dry bubbly (like Brut) if you prefer a less sweet cocktail. Sweet champagne + orange liqueur can turn into sugar overload faster than your toddler on Halloween.

Make it non-alcoholic. Sub sparkling water or ginger ale for champagne and skip the liqueur. It’s still a vibe.

Batch it for a crowd. Mix the pomegranate juice and orange liqueur in advance, then let guests top with bubbly themselves. Bonus: you don’t have to play bartender all night.
