Chef’s Notes

• Lightly clap the rosemary sprig between the palms before garnishing to release its aroma.
• Freeze the cranberries ahead of time to keep the cocktail cold without watering it down.
• For a festive sparkle, add a splash of cranberry juice or prosecco.
• Use a high-quality spicy ginger beer for the best flavor.
• Pair with charcuterie boards, smoked meats, roasted nuts, or holiday appetizers.
