Cranberry Rosemary Champagne Cocktail

Set the mood for your Christmas festivities with this pretty and delicious Cranberry Rosemary Champagne Cocktail.  I used champagne, but Prosecco works just as well, or if you want a non-alcoholic version, use Pellegrino or Seltzer. Have a tray at the ready with a pitcher of the Cranberry Rosemary infused simple syrup, the Cranberry Rosemary garnish and the Champagne.

I like to have it on the table as guests arrive so I can make the cocktails fresh for whoever wants one.  I wish I had taken a closer look at my glasses before shooting these pictures! They were clean, but have water marks on them. UGH!  Oh well – the cocktails were yummy and I got a lovely nap in afterwards 🙂   Here’s to a fun night celebrating the season!  Cheers!

Instructions

1. In a medium saucepan, combine sugar, water, and cranberries, and bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Reduce to a simmer while continuing to stir, until all of the cranberries have popped. Remove the simple syrup from the heat, and add the sprigs of rosemary. Let the rosemary infuse for 5 minutes, remove from the simple syrup and discard.
2. Once the simple syrup has cooled, strain the cranberry chunks from the simple syrup and refrigerate.
3. To make the Rosemary Cranberry Garnish: Pierce the cranberries with a toothpick, make sure to go all the way through the berry. Remove the bottom few leaves from the rosemary sprig and put 3 berries at teh bottom. Make enough sprigs for each serving.
4. To make the cocktails, pour 2 Tablespoons of rosemary-infused simple syrup to the bottom of a champagne glass. Pour prosecco over a spoon into the glass. Add a rosemary sprig to the glass, serve, and enjoy!
