We may or may not have decorated for Christmas… a couple weeks ago… I’m not saying. But if we HAD, then I most definitely have served this for our annual “Tree decorating dinner” (I know, catchy name). Every year, the day we decorate for Christmas we have a dinner by candlelight and fancy appetizers and such. I plan ahead so I don’t have to do any cooking that night, except maybe rewarming in the oven. Sparkling cider is a must too, but I forgot to get some at the store. A friend told me about this way of making it and thought we’d try it. Honestly, we couldn’t really tell much difference! We’re going to try some other juices sometime too for fun. If you are making a bigger batch serve in a closed drink dispenser if possible to keep the bubbles better.
I served with some frozen cranberries to help it keep cold instead of ice since they look better and won’t water down the drink. You may want to warn people about eating them though since they are pretty tart 😉
