This cocktail is one of a handful on Orasella’s website that was constructed by our co-founder, Anne SanGiovanni. It’s pure nostalgia, inspired by a holiday punch popular during the 1980’s.
Unlike its predecessor, this version is light, not too sweet and infinitely adjustable to please all your holiday guests. Cocktail or mocktail, large or small batch, it’s up to you. Make a big batch of the cranberry citrus base before everyone comes over and you’ll have time to enjoy friends and family while foregoing work. Happy holidays, friends.
