- 1½ oz Izze Pomegranate Sparling Juice
- Prosecco or Champagne - For topping off

Instructions
- Spread a mixture of gold and red sanding sugars on a flat surface such as a paper plate or wide flat dish.

Set glasses in the freezer while you prepare the cocktail.

- Fill the cocktail shaker about 3/4 of the way with fresh ice cubes. Replace the cover and shake these four ingredients together really well until totally combined and chilled. Strain the chilled vodka mixture into your chilled martini glass.
- Top this mixture off with a splash of Izze Pomegranate sparkling juice. Give everything a gentle stir with a bar spoon and top off the rest of the way with nicely chilled sparkling prosecco wine or chilled dry brut or rosé style champagne. Serve cold.
