This is a wonderfully festive beverage to open a dinner party: Sweet-tart pomegranate juice is balanced by bitters and spiked with vodka and fizzy rosé. Find pomegranate arils in the refrigerated area of the supermarket produce section; they’ll save you at least 10 minutes because you won’t need to pull the arils from a whole pomegranate.

1/2 cup pomegranate juice
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup (4 oz.) chilled vodka
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1 1/2 teaspoons Angostura bitters
5 cups (40 oz.) chilled sparkling rosé wine
1/3 cup pomegranate arils
