These frozen cranberry skewers not only make your champagne cocktail look more festive, but they also help it stay cold without watering it down. Before they are frozen, the sweet and sour cranberries are covered in a simple syrup that makes them taste even better and gives you a tasty treat while you sip your drink.
Ingredients: 1 cup fresh cranberries. 1/2 cup water. 1/4 cup sugar. Champagne or sparkling wine, for serving.
Instructions: In a small saucepan, combine water and sugar. Heat over medium heat until sugar dissolves, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and let the syrup cool to room temperature. Thread fresh cranberries onto skewers and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Drizzle the cooled syrup over the cranberries on skewers, ensuring they are evenly coated. Place the baking sheet in the freezer and freeze until the cranberries are solid, about 2 hours or overnight. When ready to serve, place frozen cranberry skewers into champagne glasses and pour chilled champagne or sparkling wine over them. Serve immediately and enjoy the festive touch of chilled cranberries in your champagne cocktail!
