Poinsettia Cocktail

This poinsettia cocktail is one of our favorites for the holiday season. It is made with just three simple ingredients and its lower in sugar than your typical cocktail because it is made with unsweetened cranberry juice. It’s so light and refreshing!

For a festive touch, garnish your Poinsettia cocktail with a fresh sprig of rosemary and a few cranberries.
