Suggestions for Ingredient Substitution
Cranberry juice can be replaced with tart cherry juice for a similar tangy flavor and antioxidant profile. Use the same amount as called for in the recipe. This substitution maintains the drink’s festive color and offers potential health benefits.
Pomegranate juice can be substituted with red grape juice or a mixed berry juice for a comparable sweetness and vibrant hue. Use an equal amount of the chosen substitute. These alternatives provide similar antioxidant properties and contribute to the cocktail’s rich flavor.
Champagne can be swapped with prosecco or sparkling white wine for a more budget-friendly option. For a non-alcoholic version, use sparkling water or a lemon-lime soda. Adjust the amount to taste, as these alternatives may have different levels of sweetness or effervescence compared to champagne.
