Skip the cranberry cocktail juice and go for the full-strength option for this flavorful take on the spritz. Cynar’s herbal, honey-like sweetness is all you need to offset cranberry’s natural tannic tartness. If you need to sweeten it up, add a little simple syrup to taste or use cranberry juice cocktail and only 2 oz. of prosecco.
