Gather 2 sprigs of rosemary, spear six cranberries on two martini picks, 3 on each and set aside.
6 cranberries, 2 sprigs rosemary
Fill cocktail shaker halfway with ice and add cranberry vodka, lime juice, and simple syrup.
4 ounces cranberry vodka, 2 ounces lime juice, 1.5 ounces simple syrup
Cap the shaker and shake vigorously for 15 seconds
Strain cranberry cosmo between the two martini glasses.
Set the picks of cranberries in the cocktail or on the rim of the glass and place a sprig of rosemary in each cocktail.
Sip, smile, and enjoy.

Plan ahead if you're going to make cranberry-infused vodka: Allow the cranberries to infuse the vodka for at least a week to achieve a rich, vibrant flavor.

Although I always ask that you make the recipe as written, you can adjust the sweetness of your cosmo by adding simple syrup or cranberry juice to taste.

Freshly squeezed lime juice adds a bright, zesty flavor that enhances the cocktail.

Shake the cocktail mixture vigorously with ice to achieve a well-blended and chilled drink.

Garnish creatively: I love using fresh cranberries and rosemary sprigs, but you can garnish with a twist of lime, or a sugared rim for an elegant presentation.

Experiment with flavors: Add a splash of orange liqueur like Cointreau, or triple sec, or even a dash of orange bitters to customize the flavor profile.
