- 1 cup cranberries (thawed if frozen), plus more for garnish
- 1/2 cup brandy
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon orange bitters
- 1 750-ml bottle prosecco, chilled
- Seltzer, chilled, for topping
Muddle the cranberries with the brandy and sugar in a small bowl until the cranberries are in small bits and the sugar is dissolved. Strain into a large liquid measuring cup and stir in the bitters. (This can be done a day ahead; cover and refrigerate.)
For each drink, add 1 ounce of the cranberry mixture to a glass filled with ice. Top with about 4 ounces prosecco and a splash of seltzer. Garnish with cranberries.
