Ingredients

Instructions

  • Run the cut side of a lemon along the rim of your glass. Dip the rim into a plate of sugar, coating it evenly. Place the glass in the freezer to chill while you prepare the cocktail.
  • In a cocktail shaker, combine vodka, lemon juice, cranberry juice, and simple syrup. Add ice and shake vigorously until well-chilled, about 10–15 seconds.
  • Strain the cocktail into your prepped glass.
  • Add a sprig of rosemary and a few cranberries for a festive touch. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

Pro Tips

  • For an extra frosty glass, chill your glassware in the freezer for 10–15 minutes before rimming with sugar.
  • Use freshly squeezed lemon juice for the best flavor.
  • Lightly muddle rosemary in the shaker for a hint of herbal aroma if desired.
