This Sparkling Vodka Cranberry is a quick 4 ingredient cocktail that's served over ice and garnished with sugared cranberries and rosemary! Ready to sip on in 10 minutes or less!

Ingredients  

  • ice
  • 1 ounce vodka
  • 3 ounces 100% cranberry juice
  • 1 bar spoon simple syrup optional
  • 4 ounces club or lemon-lime soda
  • sugared cranberries for garnish
  • sugared rosemary for garnish

Instructions

  • Add vodka, cranberry juice, and simple syrup (if using) to a cocktail shaker with ice and shake for 15 seconds.
  • Pour into a glass with ice and top with soda of choice.
  • Garnish with sugared cranberries and rosemary.

Notes

  • Nutritional information is an estimate that includes 1 teaspoon of simple syrup and club soda. 
  • What Can I Use If I Don’t Have A Cocktail Shaker? If you don’t have a cocktail shaker, no worries! You can also use a mason jar or a blender bottle. If you don’t have either of those you can just stir the vodka, cranberry juice, and simple syrup together vigorously.
  • How Do I Make Sugared Rosemary To Use As Garnish? Easy, the same way you do to make the sugared cranberries! Just combine the rosemary with water and granulated sugar and in about 35 minutes you’ll have fancy garnishes!
  • Can I Use Cranberry Simple Syrup In This Recipe? I’ve never tried this Vodka Cranberry Drink using cranberry simple syrup. However, I’m sure it’d turn out to be a tasty variation that’s lighter and more sophisticated! If you choose to use it I’d recommend leaving out the cranberry juice.
  • If I Have Leftover Sugared Garnishes Can I Save Them? Yes! Store them in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Before using them I’d suggest coating them in more sugar to freshen them up a bit.
