Garnishes
Rosemary coated in sugar:
- Roll rosemary sprig in plate of simple syrup (half water, half sugar mixture dissolved on the stove or store bought)
- Allow the sprigs to dry on a rack for 30 to 45 minutes until the sprigs are tacky but not totally wet
- Roll the sprigs in a plate of granulated sugar
- Put the sprigs back on to the rack and allow the sugar to set before placing it in the cocktail
Lemon twist:
- Use a zester channel knife to create a strip of lemon rind that you can twist into a loose spiral and plop on the edge of the glass
Fresh cranberries:
- Add a few fresh cranberries to the cocktail. They'll float on the top and add a pop of color.
