Ingredients:
25 oz. of Moscato
1 glass of Sparkling White Grape Juice
2 cups of Cranberry Juice 2-3 plums, sliced for garnish
A handful of red grapes for garnish A handful of fresh
cranberries for garnish % cup of sugar for coating
Light corn syrup and extra sugar to rim the glass(optional)
Method:
This cocktail comes together pretty quickly, but you'll have to make it long before your
party starts so that you can have time for chilling it properly. For making, simply mix the
Moscato, grape juice and cranberry juice in a large pitcher. Then, place the pitcher in the
fridge for at least two hours. Pour a thin layer of light corn syrup in a shallow dish while
serving the cocktails. Add some sugar on a separate shallow dish. Dip the edge of each glass
first into the corn syrup and then with sugar. Finally, it's time to pour the cocktail into each
glass.

brings a unique combination of sweet and spicy notes.
