Tips and Techniques
- Try different types of cranberry juice (such as cranberry juice cocktail which is sweet, or 100% pure cranberry juice which is more tart) to find the level of sweetness that suits your taste.
- Using frozen cranberries as a garnish not only adds visual appeal but also helps keep the drink cold without diluting it. It's a festive and functional touch.
- Rosemary sprigs add a fragrant herbal note to the cocktail. Give them a gentle clap between your hands before placing them on top to release their aroma.
- Adding lime slices as a garnish not only contributes to the drink's visual appeal but also allows individuals to customize the level of citrus in their drink.
