Equipment

• Cocktail Shaker
• Strainer
• Jigger
• Rocks Glass

Ingredients

• 2 oz rosemary-infused vodka
• 1 oz pomegranate juice
• 0.5 oz lemon juice
• 1 oz cranberry juice
• 0.5 oz simple syrup optional, for sweetness
• Pomegranate seeds for garnish
• Rosemary sprig for garnish

Instructions

• In a cocktail shaker filled with ice, add the rosemary vodka, pomegranate juice, lemon juice, cranberry juice, and simple syrup if desired.
• Shake vigorously for 15–20 seconds until well-chilled.
• Strain into a chilled martini or coupe glass for a refined presentation, or pour over ice in a rocks glass for a more relaxed style.
• Top with a sprinkle of pomegranate seeds and a sprig of fresh rosemary for a festive and aromatic touch.
• Infuse the vodka: Combine 1 cup of vodka with 1–2 sprigs of fresh rosemary in a sealed container. Let it infuse for 24–48 hours, shaking occasionally. Strain out the rosemary before use.

Notes

Pro Tips

• Rosemary infusion: Taste the vodka after 24 hours to check the intensity of the infusion; longer infusions result in stronger herbal notes.
• Glass chilling: Place your glass in the freezer beforehand to keep the cocktail at the perfect temperature.
• Adjust sweetness: Skip the simple syrup for a tart drink, or add more for a sweeter profile.
