Pomegranate Wine Spritzer | Holiday Cocktail Recipe

When you’re gathering with friends for holiday parties, be sure to include a festive holiday cocktail like this Pomegranate Wine Spritzer!

Entertaining this time of year can be as easy as opening up a few bottles of good wine, providing simple appetizers and letting the conversations go where they may lead.

But every once in a while it can be uplifting to kick your drinks up a notch with a signature holiday cocktail.

This Pomegranate Wine Spritzer uses Cameron Hughes Chardonnay, club soda and the juice & seeds of pomegranate fruit to add a beautiful, rich flavor and color to your holiday drink.

Tip: You can make life even easier by buying the pomegranate seeds and juice instead of extracting from the fruit.

Cameron Hughes Wine

Cameron Hughes Wines is a négociant, which is a fancy word for wine trader. They meet with the world’s foremost growers and producers to find some of the best wines in the world. They live by a simple philosophy – great wine doesn’t have to be expensive.

Their agreements are made discreetly and are typically protected to keep the source producer or winery’s name secret – that’s how they can offer a $100 Napa Cab for $30 a bottle, or a $60 bottle of Pinot for under $20.

Cameron Hughes Wine is constantly on the hunt for new deals, and typically releases more than 30 wines a year. As a result, the variety in their online store is always changing. However, one thing remains the same: Cameron Hughes stands behind each and every bottle.
