Pomegranate Champagne Cocktail

I created this Pomegranate Champagne Cocktail for a holiday dinner club gathering, and it would be perfect to toast in the new year and more! Your guests will love these delicious cocktails!

Pomegranate Champagne Cocktail

When ruby red pomegranates start appearing on the scene, I know the holidays are upon us. I rarely make a “signature” drink for a gathering, but this Pomegranate Champagne Cocktail was for our dinner club. It was fun to go the extra mile. All I needed were a few limes, some pomegranate juice, and Champagne and we were ready to roll. The base of the drink can be made ahead of time, in fact, it does need a 2 hour period in the fridge for the flavors to meld. Then when your guests arrive, all that’s required is the bubbly topper and a fruit garnish!
