Ingredients

• 1 cup fresh apple cider
• 1/2 cup pomegranate juice
• 1/2 cup apple brandy or Calvados
• 1 bottle Prosecco or Cava, chilled
• 1 crisp apple, such as McIntosh, for garnish

Preparation

Step 1

Mix the cider, pomegranate juice, and apple brandy in a glass measuring cup or pitcher until combined. Chill until ready to serve.

To make a Bubbletini, pour about 1/4 cup of the cider mixture into a chilled martini glass. Top with ice-cold Prosecco. To garnish, either very thinly slice the apple crosswise on a mandoline slicer and float the wheel in the cocktail, or cut thin wedges from the apple and garnish the rim.

Repeat with remaining ingredients.
