Cranberry-Rosemary Spritz
Photo Credit: Styled and photographed by Liz NeilyThis festive cranberry-rosemary spritz mocktail is inspired by classic seasonal flavors: cranberry, rosemary, and ginger. It’s an easy batch cocktail, too, since you can make the base a few days ahead of time and add the seltzer just before serving.
This recipe was originally published in “Cocktails for All” in the November/December 2025 issue of Yankee.
Yield:
6 to 8 servings
Ingredients
6 sprigs of rosemary, plus more for garnish
5 quarter-sized slices of fresh ginger (unpeeled)
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
3 cups cranberry juice
¹⁄3 cup fresh lime juice
3 cups seltzer water
Ice and fresh cranberries, for garnish
Instructions
In a pitcher, combine the rosemary sprigs, ginger, and sugar. Use a muddler or wooden spoon to crush a few times, then add the cranberry juice and lime juice and stir until sugar is dissolved. Refrigerate and steep for at least 6 hours and up to 2 days. Strain out the rosemary and ginger, then return to the pitcher. Just before serving, add the seltzer and ice. Serve each drink garnished with half a rosemary sprig and some cranberries.
