Cranberry and vodka go together like Santa and Rudolph. This cocktail is refreshing and festive in flavor and style. Want to give the cocktail a special holiday sparkle? Top the drink with a splash of something bubbly, like seltzer or club soda.

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 oz Vodka
• 3 oz Cranberry Juice, preferably 100% cranberry juice
• 1 oz Orange Juice, preferably fresh squeezed
• Optional: Top with Seltzer or Club Soda

Garnish

• Fresh Cranberries
• Fresh Rosemary sprigs

Build the garnish up to three hours before serving.  To make the cocktail garnish, use fresh rosemary sprigs, removing the bottom leaves, exposing approximately 2-3″ long of just the twig. With careful force, press 2-3 fresh cranberries onto the end of the rosemary sprig. Repeat as needed.

Fill a cocktail shaker with ice and add the vodka, cranberry juice and the fresh squeezed orange juice. Shake well and strain into an ice-filled glass. Optional to top with your holiday sparkler of choice, such as seltzer or club soda. Garnish with the cranberry rosemary sprigs and serve immediately. Cheers!
