Notes

  • For a sweeter touch, add a splash of simple syrup or honey before chilling.
  • Use fresh cranberries and rosemary for the best aromatic garnish.
  • This mocktail can be prepared a few hours ahead and kept chilled in the refrigerator.
  • Substitute sparkling cider with sparkling water or soda for a less sweet version.
