    Santa’s spritz is a delicious and festive holiday cocktail!

    Tastes as Good as it Looks

    This refreshing cocktail begins with cranberry juice, layered with pomegranate juice then fresh rosemary. Vodka is added before being topped off with club soda for that signature fizz making this a spritz.

    Smells great too!

    This spritz is fresh and fruity, with a hint of earthy rosemary, and a light effervescence and wonderful aroma reminiscent of Christmas trees!

    Garnished with fresh, whole cranberries and fragrant rosemary this drink comes with full holiday cheer!

    Sip and let the joy of the holidays really lift your spirit! Cheers!

    ★ Ingredients You'll Need ★

    This recipe is quite simple! You only need 5 ingredients.

    Santa Spritz Ingredients

    Here's what to gather before you're ready to mix this drink:

    • Rosemary is a great addition to this cocktail – it adds an earthy, woodsy aroma and flavor that pairs deliciously with cranberries. And the green color complements the red for that classic holiday color combination.
    • Pomegranate juice adds a sweet, tartness to the spritz.
    • Cranberry juice adds a sour, fruity flavor to the spritz.
    • Vodka is our alcohol of choice for this spritz but white rum or gin would also be delicious! Vodka is mostly flavorless so this really lets the the other ingredients shine through.
    • Club soda adds effervescence to the spritz–you could always use sparkling water, Sprite, or prosecco if you prefer.
    • Fresh cranberries to show off the flavor of the drink and if you want to freeze them, they can act as ice cubes.

    ★ How to Make this Recipe ★

    This cocktail is easy to prepare by just layering in each ingredient then giving a gentle stir before adding the final spritzer.

    Lastly, garnish with as many frozen cranberries as you'd like along with a sprig of rosemary.

    Here's a look at the process:

    How to Make a Santa Spritz Cocktail
    1. Pour pomegranate juice into a pitcher.
    2. Add cranberry juice.
    3. Add fresh rosemary and cranberries.
    4. Add vodka. Stir to combine.
    5. Pour into serving glasses.
    6. Top with a splash of club soda.

    I recommend adding the club soda immediately before serving. To preserve the most bubbles, it's best to add the club soda directly to each drinking glass (and not the pitcher).

    ★ Tips and FAQs ★

    Can a spritz be made as a large batch?

    Yes but tit's important to wait to add club soda right before serving.
    The juice mixture (cranberry juice, pomegranate juice, and vodka) can be combined ahead of time and chilled.
    Leave out the spritzer (club soda or other effervescent beverage of your choice) and add that after pouring into a glass immediately before serving. This ensures the bubbles do not go flat.
    Scale up the recipe using the sliding scale in the recipe card depending on the number of drinks you'd like.

    What type of glass works best for a spritz cocktail?

    This drink measures out at 7oz plus you'll need room for rosemary garnish and frozen cranberries (or ice). So you'll want to go with a highball glass. Shop highball glasses on amazon

    Can I make santa spritz into a mocktail?

    Yes. You can easily turn this into a punch for the kids or anyone looking for a nonalcoholic but still festive beverage. Simply leave out the vodka to make this virgin.
