Candy Canes
There's already an excess of candy canes during this time of year, so embrace the flavor and use them in your cocktails for a simple embellishment. They slowly melt into the drink and give it a cool, peppermint flavor. Plus, they look adorable and perfectly festive. A great option that complements the flavor of candy canes is sweet sparkling wine, like Freixenet Sweet Cuvée Cava.
Apple Slices
Crisp apples are so delicious when added to a cava cocktail. The effervescence and juiciness complement each other well and are a sweet way to enjoy the season. Go with red apples for a pop of color to add cheer.
Fig Wedges
Figs are commonly used to top off cocktails because of their sweetness and stickiness. Not only are they gorgeous to look at, but they also give off a slightly fancier vibe if you really want to wow your guests with an upscale finishing touch.
Caramels
Rich and creamy caramels are unexpected drink toppers, but once you enjoy them in your cocktail you'll never go back. Stack a few squares on a cocktail pick and place them inside your flutes. Everyone will love this sweet treat with their drink.
Pomegranate Seeds
Tart and crunchy pomegranate seeds take the cake when it comes to edible garnishes. Their vibrant red hue celebrates the holiday season while the round seeds float gracefully below the surface of your cocktail, just waiting to be sipped up.
