Ingredients

Scale
  • 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)

Tools You’ll Need

  • A cocktail shaker
  • A jigger for measuring
  • A fine mesh strainer (if you prefer a perfectly smooth pour)
  • Martini or coupe glasses (for a fancy look) or rocks glasses (for a casual vibe)

Instructions

  • 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 using.
  • Mix the Cocktail
    • Fill a cocktail shaker with ice.
    • Add the rosemary vodka, pomegranate juice, lemon juice, cranberry juice, and simple syrup (if desired).
  • Shake It Up
    Shake vigorously for 15–20 seconds. This step chills the cocktail and ensures the flavors meld beautifully.
  • Serve in Style
    • Strain into a chilled martini or coupe glass for an elegant presentation.
    • Alternatively, pour over ice in a rocks glass for a relaxed vibe.
  • Garnish for the Win
    Top with a sprinkle of pomegranate seeds and a sprig of fresh rosemary for a festive and aromatic touch.
