Strain & top
Double-strain the mixture into the prepared coupe or martini glass. Top gently with 1.5 oz sparkling water or prosecco to add effervescence and a lighter mouthfeel.
Garnish & Finish
- 5
Skewer 4 fresh cranberries on the rosemary sprig or thread them on a small cocktail pick and rest across the rim of the glass. Float the remaining 2 cranberries in the cocktail. Slip the lime wheel on the rim or float it alongside the cranberries.
- 6
Give the finished cocktail two small sprays of fresh rosemary (optional): gently clap the rosemary between your hands to release aromatics and hold it briefly over the glass to let the oils perfume the drink.
