For Thanksgiving this year, I thought it would be cool to create a cocktail that would match my decor. And because I’m me, well, I did just that. The theme? Brandywine, based on the decorative turkey of the same name that I designed my entire Thanksgiving tablescape around (see photo here).
It was a HIT! So much so, that I whipped it up again for my birthday 70s Soiree the following wee. Now, you can try it for yourself!
BeautyFrosting’s Brandywine Punch
*Makes approx. 12-16 cocktails
1) Sprinkle 1 Tbsp pomegranate seeds in bottom of champagne flutes.
2) In a large beverage container or large pitcher, combine:
1 Bottle of Simply Cranberry
1 Bottle of Simply Apple
1 c BeautyFrosting Brown Sugar Simple Syrup (see below)
1-2 c AppleJack Brandy
1 Bottle Mumm Napa Brut Rosé
Pour cocktail mixture over pomegranate seeds.
Serve with a grateful heart.
BeautyFrosting’s Holiday Brown Sugar Simple Syrup
1 c Brown Sugar
1 c Water
1 tsp Cinnamon
1 tsp Maple syrup
In a small saucepan, combine sugar, cinnamon and water. Simmer over medium heat, constantly stirring until sugar is dissolved. Add in maple syrup. Cool. Pour simple sugar into cocktail of choice. Or store in refrigerator in pyrex or airtight container for up to a month.
