Summary

This delicious spritz from yotam ottolenghi's christmas menu is a brilliant way to start the holidays. it’s all about taking those familiar festive spices – cinnamon, star anise and cardamom – and pairing them with the brightness of pomegranate and orange, then letting it all mingle. the result is refreshingly light yet deeply aromatic.

Step 1

For the syrup, put all the ingredients in a small saucepan over a high heat and bring to the boil. Allow to simmer for 1-2 minutes, then take off the heat and set aside to cool. Once cool, pour into a sterilised jar and chill for up to 2 weeks.

For the spritz, fill 8 white wine glasses ¾ full with ice, then divide the Prosecco among them, followed by some sparkling water and 25ml syrup per glass. Drop in a whole spice from the syrup and a twist of fresh orange peel to decorate.
