Chandelier Italian Sparkling Wine’s light and crispy notes pair well with the acidity found in fresh pomegranates. This sparkling cocktail will make the ultimate statement at your summer fete, brightening the occasion with its touch of sparkle.
We found so much inspiration in this delicious cocktail, that we designed an entire tablescape to complement it. A fresh table runner was created by layering eucalyptus branches, fresh berry branches, pink peonies and pink spider mums. A few pomegranate halves, displaying those gorgeous seeds, were sprinkled along the fresh table runner’s edge for visual cohesion.
And for that special touch to the dining table, we added whole pomegranates with vinyl name cards, as a unique and unexpected placecard for guests as they were seated for dinner. Table décor inspiration can be found virtually anywhere, and this vibrant sparkling pomegranate caipirinha was ours!
Head to your local grocery for a bottle of Chandelier® Italian Sparkling Wine and kick off your summer festivities with this vibrant pomegranate sparkling cocktail recipe.
