The viral snow globe cocktail trend is back just in time for the holidays. This fun presentation features a pine-tree-like rosemary sprig and whole cranberries frozen in water inside a cocktail glass. Once frozen, you simply top with Prosecco or sparkling wine, and voil\u00e0\u2014you’ve made an easy and festive cocktail!<\/p>\n
Add whole cranberries to the bottom of a freezer-safe cocktail glass or stemless wine glass.<\/p>\n
Trim the rosemary sprig to fit inside the glass (make sure it’s not taller than the top of the glass), and place the sprig standing upright in the middle.<\/p>\n
Pour water into the glass, filling it about 1\/4 to 1\/3 full.<\/p>\n
Editor’s Tip:<\/em> For extra-clear ice cubes<\/a>, use distilled or filtered water and boil it twice, allowing it to cool between boils.<\/p>\n Set the glass on a flat plate and place it in the freezer for at least 45 minutes, until the water is frozen.<\/p>\n Editor’s Tip:<\/em> It may take longer than 45 minutes to freeze the water, depending on your appliance!<\/p>\n Remove the glass from the freezer, and top with sparkling wine or water. Serve immediately.<\/p>\n You can prep the snow globe cocktail glasses up to 24 hours in advance. Store them in the freezer until ready to use.<\/p>\n Be sure to use something made of tempered glass or something that is specifically labeled freezer-safe. This will prevent the glass from cracking in the freezer as the water freezes. Stemless wine glasses have a shape ideal for making a snow globe cocktail recipe.<\/p>\n If you’re having trouble getting the rosemary to stay in place in the center of the glass, simply tie a string around the top of the rosemary, pull the string taut in both directions and secure both ends of the string to the outside of the glass with a little tape. Once the sprig is frozen, remove the string and tape.<\/p>\n Snow globe cocktails are perfect to serve alongside your favorite holiday party food. Think a Christmas tree charcuterie board<\/a>, a snowman cheese board<\/a> or some mingle-friendly holiday appetizers<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This viral snow globe cocktail recipe is a snap to make.
