Poinsettia | Cocktail Party

Poinsettia

The Poinsettia is a classic holiday cocktail, but there’s no reason to save this orange-cranberry sparkler for the winter months – it makes a lovely brunch cocktail any time of the year.

We like this version from cocktail legend Dale DeGroff, who floats the triple sec on top of the drink in the last step. It’s a nice technique; the bubbles from the sparkling wine carry the orange scent up to your nose as you sip, and the orange flavor is not at all overwhelming.

clean, straightforward app

This is a clean, straightforward app that allows you quick access to find drinks to make based on ingredients that you have. I love it because the UI is intuitive and the drink selections are organized into subcategories. If you're looking to make your parties better or just learn how to make a new aperitif/nightcap, this app is for you.
