Here’s a fun, festive upgrade your sparkling cider will love — perfect for holidays, brunches, or when you want a drink that feels a little fancy with almost zero effort.

Ingredients

  • 1 bottle sparkling apple cider (regular or spiced)

  • Fresh rosemary sprig
  • A handful of fresh or frozen cranberries
  • Optional: splash of ginger ale, prosecco, or ginger beer for extra zing

Instructions

  1. Prep your glass: Add 1 tablespoon of cranberry sauce to the bottom of each glass.
  2. Add citrus + herbs: Drop in an orange or lime slice and a small sprig of rosemary for aroma.
  3. Bubbles time: Slowly pour in sparkling cider (or cider + a splash of ginger ale/prosecco) and stir gently to dissolve the cranberry sauce.
  4. Finish: Add a few cranberries for color and chill for 1–2 minutes so everything blends.
