Cranberry Spritz

The spritz trend is here to stay, and the Cranberry Spritz is one of the most refreshing variations. A sparkling mix of cranberry, vodka, and prosecco that looks and tastes like a party. With Nomuss Cosmopolitan Mix as a base, you'll have the cranberry flavor perfectly balanced.

What makes a spritz so popular?

The spritz is originally an Italian aperitif invented in the Veneto region. The concept is simple: a base of wine or liqueur, topped with bubbles and ice. In recent years, the spritz has evolved into an entire category of cocktails, from the classic Aperol Spritz to creative variations with fruit and herbs. The Cranberry Spritz is a perfect example of this.

The secret to the perfect Cranberry Spritz

• Pour the prosecco in last — And do it slowly, to preserve the bubbles. Don't stir too vigorously.
• Use a large wine glass — This is not a cocktail glass moment. A large wine glass with plenty of ice is the ideal canvas.
• Ice cubes, not crushed ice — Large ice cubes melt slower and keep your spritz colder and less diluted for longer.
• Garnish with flair — A slice of orange, a sprig of rosemary, or a few fresh cranberries. Presentation matters.

Variations to try

• Cranberry Rosé Spritz — Replace the prosecco with a rosé cava or crémant for a more elegant version.
• Cranberry Aperol Spritz — Add a small dash of Aperol for bittersweet complexity.
• Virgin Cranberry Spritz — Omit the vodka and use non-alcoholic sparkling wine. Still festive and delicious.

When to serve a Cranberry Spritz?

A Cranberry Spritz is the perfect aperitif. Serve it at:

• An aperitif on a sunny terrace
• A chic dinner as a welcome drink
• A Christmas party — the red color is perfect
• A garden party where you want something light and elegant
