Frocktails: Puttin' on the Spritz

This blend of cranberry juice, ginger ale and Prosecco is the cocktail I served for my birthday last month. It's light, sparkly and perfect for a party this time of year. If you're planning ahead, I think sugared cranberries make a nice garnish. Just be sure to skewer them before the sugar dries as all that handling later on undoes your work.

I partnered my drink with the aptly named Bing Spritzer dress by Karen Walker. I think it's a good match for holiday entertaining. It would be cozy and sweet paired with a big, chunky cardigan, and those tiny polka dots will go along so nicely with the bubbles in your drink.
