Easy Brunch Cocktail

Hi Everyone! It's Nicole, Annette's web-manager and friend, and I am thrilled to be guest posting today to bring you a festive holiday cocktail: pear prosecco punch.In my house, I always make a huge Christmas brunch to enjoy after opening presents. The feast starts with sausage balls & pigs-in-a-blanket (oldies but goodies) and coffee for breakfast while we all tear through gifts. Late morning, I pop everything in the oven, and we sit down to a huge brunch complete with berry French toast, quiche, fruit, and of course, a festive cocktail. There are only three of us every year, but we always manage to have a full-fledged feast. This is the best cocktail for Christmas brunch.One trick: freeze a bag of cranberries and keep them on hand in your freezer. Warm prosecco isn't tasty. Frozen cranberries can be used in place of ice to keep your cocktails cold. They won't water-down your beverage, and they'll look festive, too!Let me know if you give this a try! I'd love to hear what you think. Happy holidays!xo, Nicole
