Pomegranate Poinsettia Cocktail
When it comes to celebratory holiday drinks, you can't really get more festive than this pomegranate poinsettia cocktail. Essentially, it's just a gussied up take on the classic poinsettia, which features cranberry juice. But this pomegranate version is my favorite. It is similarly crisp, sweet, and tart, but without any trace of bitterness on the finish. And most of the time I prefer the character of my holiday cocktails to match the merriness of the mood, don't you? This one strikes a perfectly magnanimous tone.
