I made up this Rosemary Cosmo today, just in time for Christmas. Cranberry, vodka and rosemary simple syrup screams holidays. If you love rosemary, this is the cocktail for you this time of year.
Rosemary simple syrup:
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup water
2 sprigs fresh rosemary
Put ingredients into a saucepan and boil for about five minutes. Let cool.
Rosemary Cosmo
1 part vodka
2 parts cranberry juice
1 Tbsp Rosemary simple syrup
Sprig of rosemary for garnish
Mix the vodka, cranberry juice and simple syrup in a cocktail shaker full of ice. Pour into a martini glass, garnish and enjoy.
If you want to be fancy, you can make sugared rosemary sprigs, which look gorgeous in the martini.
I simply wet the rosemary, rolled it in a saucer of sugar crystals, and put it in the freezer for a couple of hours.
I also froze some fresh cranberries in an ice cube tray to put in drinks as an added garnish. Christmas in a glass. Have one - or two - and you'll have no choice but to be merry and bright.
