5 OF THE BEST CHRISTMAS COCKTAILS

5.Cranberry Kir Royale

Festive fruit gives this Kir Royale an extra special twist. With a syrup made from cranberries, Crème de Cassis and sugar this Champagne cocktail is the perfect Christmas party idea. I'm In Love.

• Ingredients

• 150g (5oz) fresh cranberries, or frozen cranberries, defrosted

• 75g (3oz) light soft brown suga

• 100ml (3 1/2fl oz) Crème de Cassis

• 1 x 75cl bottle Prosecco

Tip the cranberries into a small saucepan along with the sugar and 1 tbsp of the Crème de Cassis. Heat gently for about 5 minutes until the berries burst and turn sticky, then place in a small bowl and allow to cool completely. You can make this in advance and keep chilled for up to 3 days.Use a small spoon to divide the berry mixture among 6 chilled champagne flutes. Top each with the remaining Crème de Cassis and then slowly pour over the Prosecco. Stir gently with a long cocktail spoon before serving.

Mix well to dissolve the sugar. Add the ice and fruit then pour over the Prosecco.

Stir with a spoon and pour into glasses to serve immediately.

Tip: Slice the pears just before serving to stop them turning brown.
