To celebrate this festive occasion, sparkling cocktail drinks will be a perfect start. Cranberry Orange Prosecco cocktail is bubbly, sweet, tart and with a hint of citrus.

Ingredients

Cranberry Orange Syrup
1   cup fresh whole cranberries
1   cup sugar
¼  cup water
1   orange, reserve orange rind with pith removed and juice

Cocktail
1 bottle of prosecco or champagne
orange rind cut into thin strips for garnish

Instructions

1.  In a small saucepan combine cranberries, water and sugar, heat over medium heat until sugar dissolves and cranberries begin to pop {but still retain their shapes} and produce some juice, about 5 minutes.  Remove from heat, add orange juice and rind, and gently stir together. Cover with a lid and let it cool to room temperature.
