This is a cranberry(-orange) punch. Just add sparkling wine.

Simple drink. Definitely something to have when you're in the mood for a Cosmo, but you don't want it to be too strong.

Very refreshing and a great cocktail for brunch or a luncheon. Very drinkable, but not overly sweet. Would also be perfect on a warm afternoon when you want to relax.
