The Poinsettia is a sparkling drink made with Triple Sec, Champagne, and Cranberry Juice. The triple sec gives the drink its sweetness, while the champagne and cranberry juice add a tartness that is balanced by the sweetness of the triple sec. The combination of these ingredients gives the Poinsettia its characteristic reddish hue, which makes it perfect for holiday entertaining. The history of the Poinsettia cocktail dates back to the early 1900s. It is named after Joel Robert Poinsett, who was the first U.S. Ambassador to Mexico. He brought the plant that we now know as the poinsettia back from Mexico and it quickly became a holiday tradition in the United States. The Poinsettia cocktail is a great way to enjoy this holiday tradition.
