The Story
The Poinsettia is a modern holiday staple — the mimosa's Christmas cousin, swapping orange juice for cranberry to match the season's colors. Named for the crimson flower that fills doorways every December, it's less a cocktail with a pedigree than a reliable crowd-pleaser: easy to batch, festive to look at, and forgiving enough to pour for a whole party.
