Cranberries are rich in antioxidants and Vitamin C. You can buy them at grocery stores, farmer’s markets, online retailers, and health centers.
- Beverage: Sparkling or carbonated drinks are most optimal for this recipe. A sparkling wine such as champagne or a non-alcoholic carbonated drink such as ginger ale would be ideal.

Snowglobe Cocktail Instructions
- Fill your cup or glass with about a singe layer of cranberries. Careful as not to overcrowd your glass as the cranberries do float; One base layer is all you need.
- Begin pouring water into the glass until the cranberries rise about 1/4 inch.
- Insert a rosemary sprig into the glass and support it using the floating cranberries. Adjust the water level as needed. If the sprig doesn’t stand on its own, use tape/jute/string to secure the rosemary sprig (this is imperative for it to maintain its shape).
- Once your glasses are prepared, freeze overnight.
- When frozen, pour in your beverage of choice and your Christmas cocktail is finished! The carbonation of your drink will provide the snowglobe effect.

Ingredients
Rosemary sprig
Cranberries
Water
Beverage of choice (preferably sparkling or carbonated)
Directions
- Fill your glass with a bed of cranberries. Don’t overfill but it should have a single layer of fruit.
- Pour water into the glass until the cranberries are slightly floating. This will help the rosemary sprig stand while it freezes.
- Place the rosemary sprig in the middle of the glass and ensure it is standing up. If it does not stand you can use tape, string, or jute to help it stand straight up.
- After you have set up your glass, freeze overnight.
- Once frozen, you can now pour in your beverage of choice and enjoy!
