Winter & Fall Cocktails: How to Make a Prosecco Orange Cinnamon Blossom Cocktails

Whether you're toasting to turkey day or gearing up for a day of family debates at the dinner table, one thing's for sure: A boozy cocktail in hand is sure to make Thanksgiving a whole lot better.

You'll need:

• 1 bottle of Santa Margherita Prosecco Superiore DOCG
• 1/2 lemon
• 1/2 orange
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 3 whole cloves
• 3 whole allspice
• 2 cinnamon sticks

Here's how to make it:

1. Rinse lemon and orange and thinly slice them, discarding seeds. Quarter the orange slices. Put fruit in a 4- to 5-quart pan. 
2. Add honey, sugar (use the smaller amount if you prefer drinks on the tart side, the larger if you want a sweeter flavor), cloves and allspice. 
3. With a knife, cut the cinnamon sticks lengthwise into thinner strips. Add cinnamon and 2 cups water to pan. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat and boil gently for 5 minutes. 
4. Pour prosecco into hot citrus base and heat until steaming, about 8 minutes. Keep warm over low heat. Ladle into heatproof cups or wineglasses.
