The Sparkling Pomegranate Caipirinha is a modern twist on the classic Brazilian cocktail — with a seasonal spin that’s perfect for the holidays.
The light, crisp notes of Chandelier® Italian Sparkling Wine complement the tart acidity of pomegranate beautifully, while the touch of lime adds brightness and balance.
This Christmas cocktail not only tastes incredible but also looks stunning on your holiday bar cart or dinner table with its jewel-toned color and natural garnish.
Holiday Tablescape Inspiration
Inspired by the beautiful ruby-red hue of this cocktail, we styled a holiday tablescape that ties perfectly into the pomegranate theme.
We layered fresh eucalyptus branches, red berry sprigs, pink peonies, and pink spider mums down the center of the table to create a lush, organic runner.
To add even more festive flair, we scattered halved pomegranates along the greenery, allowing their glistening seeds to catch the candlelight.
