Servings 12 garnishes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 package fresh cranberries 12 oz
  • 4-5 sprigs fresh rosemary
  • 12-15 wooden cocktail skewers 4-6 inches long
  • Optional: 2 tablespoons granulated sugar for sugared cranberries variation
  • Optional: 1 egg white or 2 tablespoons simple syrup for sugared cranberries variation

Instructions
 

  • First, rinse the cranberries and rosemary sprigs under cold water, then gently pat them dry with paper towels. This ensures your garnishes look clean and fresh.
  • Next, trim your rosemary sprigs into 3-4 inch lengths, cutting away any woody or brown sections. Remove a few of the lower needles from each sprig to create a clean stem that's easier to handle.
  • Now assemble your garnishes by threading 2-3 cranberries onto each wooden skewer. Slide one rosemary sprig alongside the cranberries, positioning it so the leafy part extends past the cranberries for a pretty effect.
  • When you're ready to use them, simply place a garnish across the rim of each glass or insert it directly into the drink. If you're not serving right away, keep the finished garnishes on a small plate in the refrigerator until your guests arrive.
  • For an extra festive touch, you can lightly brush the cranberries with egg white or simple syrup and roll them in sugar before adding them to the skewers. This creates a beautiful frosted look that's perfect for holiday cocktails.
