Lively but light, this sparkling citrus punch is an excellent choice for a New Year's Eve party that lasts well into the night. Simple syrup infused with bay leaf lends herbaceous flavor, while fresh grapefruit juice and clear cranberry juice create the blush-toned hue for this vodka, Cointreau, and prosecco based drink. Sunny sliced kumquats added at the end make for a seasonal garnish that partygoers will want to toast to.

Steps:
- In a small saucepan, bring sugar, grapefruit zest, bay leaves, and 1/2 cup water to a boil, stirring until sugar has dissolved. Let cool completely, about 1 hour. Strain, discarding solids, and refrigerate in an airtight container until cold, at least 1 hour and up to 1 week.
- In a punch bowl or large pitcher, stir together syrup, grapefruit juice, vodka, Cointreau, and cranberry juice. If not serving right away, cover and refrigerate up to 1 day.
- Add ice, top with prosecco and club soda, and garnish with bay leaves and kumquats. Serve immediately.
