Poinsettia Punch
A classic champagne cocktail, the Poinsettia is a festive orange-and-cranberry-flavored, rose-tinted punch. Use floating frozen orange slices and cranberries to keep the punch nicely chilled and nicely decorated. Game plan: This punch is not served with ice, so make sure all the ingredients and the punch bowl are well chilled. If you have an extra bowl that’s larger than your punch bowl, fill it with ice and nestle the punch bowl inside to keep it cold.
Ingredients
- 8 orange slices from about 2 oranges for garnish
- 2⁄3 Cup fresh or frozen cranberries for garnish
- 3 Cup chilled cranberry juice
- 3⁄4 Cup chilled cointreau
- 2 bottles chilled brut sparkling wine or champagne
