Prompted by its incredibly festive name, I had one of these at Lucky Voice the other week and had to do some fairly industrial clapping-over my mouth in horror when I looked it up later. I'd paid a ton for something I could make at home in vast quantities for pretty much the same price. But that's why we go to bars, people! So we can realise these things, but drink them anyway.
This is an absolutely brilliant drink to make for parties as it requires no faffing whatsoever and tastes magnificent. I made three batches of this at the weekend and it was a massive success.
Poinsettia - serves eight
You will need:
- 125ml chilled Cointreau
- 500ml chilled cranberry juice
- a bottle of Prosecco or Cava
Pour everything into a jug. Serve. Done. Admire the actual poinsettia you bought because it's Christmas and that's just what you do.

I spent a long time looking at that photo and thinking 'but that's not your dining table!' before I scrolled down a little bit further. This cocktail looks tasty.
