Ingredients
  

For the Cocktail
  • 5 small candy canes For the rim of the glass.
  • 1 bottle Champagne or Prosecco A dry Prosecco is recommended for balanced sweetness.
  • 1/2 cup fresh grapefruit juice (or any juice you like) You can substitute with orange juice, cranberry juice, etc.
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice or grapefruit juice (for the rim) To help the crushed candy canes stick to the glass.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Crush the candy canes by placing them in a small plastic bag and using a rolling pin to crush them into fine pieces. Pour them onto a small plate.
  2. On another plate, pour some lime juice or grapefruit juice. Dip the rim of your glass into the juice, allowing it to coat generously. Then, dip the rim into the crushed candy cane mixture, gently pressing and turning to ensure it sticks.
  3. With the glass rimmed, add Prosecco or champagne to the glass, filling it about three-quarters full.
  4. Gently top off the glass with freshly squeezed grapefruit juice or your juice of choice.
  5. Add a whole candy cane as a garnish. Your Holiday Candy Cane Prosecco is now ready! Cheers!

Notes

If serving a crowd, prepare the glasses ahead of time to keep the fizz fresh. Store leftover juice in the fridge for up to 2-3 days.
