Total Time: 5 mins
Cuisine: Italian
Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup cranberry juice
- 1 cup Prosecco
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary
- Fresh cranberries for garnish
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 1 cup of cranberry juice, 1 cup of Prosecco, 1 tablespoon of fresh rosemary, and fresh cranberries for garnish. Ensure that your Prosecco is chilled for the best flavor.
- In a mixing glass or pitcher, combine the 1 cup of cranberry juice with the 1 tablespoon of fresh rosemary. If you prefer a stronger rosemary flavor, gently muddle the rosemary in the cranberry juice to release its essential oils.
- Once the rosemary is well mixed with the cranberry juice, strain the mixture into two serving glasses, filling each glass about halfway.
- Slowly pour the chilled Prosecco into each glass, allowing it to mix gently with the cranberry juice. Be careful not to pour too quickly to avoid excessive foam.
- Garnish each cocktail with a few fresh cranberries and a sprig of rosemary for an elegant presentation. You can also add a rosemary sprig to the glass for additional aroma and flavor.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing Cranberry Rosemary Prosecco Cocktail!
Tips
- Chill Your Prosecco: For the best flavor, ensure that your Prosecco is well-chilled before serving. This will enhance the refreshing quality of your cocktail.
- Muddle for More Flavor: If you love the taste of rosemary, consider gently muddling it in the cranberry juice to release more of its essential oils, giving your cocktail a richer flavor.
- Garnish Creatively: Don’t just stop at cranberries and rosemary! You can also add a twist of lemon peel or a slice of orange for an extra pop of color and flavor.
- Adjust Sweetness: If you prefer a sweeter cocktail, you can add a splash of simple syrup or adjust the cranberry juice to a sweeter variety.
- Batch It Up: This recipe is easily scalable! If you’re hosting a larger gathering, simply multiply the ingredients and serve in a pitcher for guests to help themselves.
- Experiment with Herbs: While rosemary is fantastic, feel free to experiment with other herbs like thyme or mint for a unique twist on this cocktail.
