Directions:

Frosted Cranberries

Begin by making the candied aka frosted cranberries for your garnish. 

In a small saucepan combine 1 cup of water and 1 cup of sugar.  Add vanilla and  bring to a boil for 2 minutes.  Once boiled, remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.

Dip fresh cranberries into the simple syrup and coat evenly.  Once coated, transfer to a tupperware container filled with remaining 1/2 cup of sugar and roll the cranberries to evenly coat them.  You can also dip fresh rosemary in the syrup and 'flock' it in the same way!

Rest the 'frosted' cranberries in a single layer on parchment paper and place in the freezer for at least 2 hrs. or completely frozen.

These cranberries are perfect for chilling and garnishing your cocktail.  Consider threading them onto a toothpick of rosemary atop your glass!  Be sure to keep them completely frozen until you assemble your drink to keep it nice and chilled.

Mistletoe Kiss Cocktail 

 

In a flute or coupe, drop in frosted cranberries and a sprig of fresh or flocked rosemary.  Pour 1 oz. of Wiseacre Farm Distillery's Cranberry Rosemary Liqueur.  Top with at least 3oz of Volcanic Hills Bubbly Gewurztraminer to taste. 

Enjoy!!
