Snowglobe Rosemary Collins

The Snowglobe Rosemary Collins is almost too pretty to drink! The combo of rosemary’s earthy freshness and the zesty burst of lemon meld seamlessly with crisp vodka, all adorned with a dash of edible glitter.

The most fun part? Crafting the snowglobe ice from coconut, cranberries, and a miniature rosemary tree, bringing a touch of festive magic. I sprinkled shredded coconut and cranberries in the bottom of a glass, then added some water. I snipped a piece of fragrant rosemary for the tree, stuck it in the bottom of the glass and then froze until solid.

Rosemary syrup is so easy to make for this cocktail and adds the perfect herbal element. Whether you’re surrounded by snow or not, this cocktail promises a holiday season filled with joy and flavor!  

Ingredients for the Snowglobe Rosemary Collins

• Vodka: Elevate your cocktail with a premium vodka like Ketel One for a smooth and refined base.
• Rosemary Syrup: Infuse a hint of piney freshness with homemade rosemary syrup.
• Lemon Juice: The citrusy tang of freshly squeezed lemon juice brightens the cocktail, complementing the herbal notes of rosemary. Bottled lemon juice works here too.
• Club Soda: Introduce effervescence with club soda, creating light and bubbly sips. I like LaCroix.
• Edible Glitter (Optional): For a touch of sparkle, add a dash of edible glitter. I used Fancy Sprinkles.

How to Make the Snowglobe Rosemary Collins

Crafting the Snowglobe Rosemary Collins takes just 5 minutes after you prep your snowglobe glass. To create the snowglobe ice, sprinkle shredded coconut and cranberries in the bottom of a glass, then add some water. Next, snip a piece of fragrant rosemary for the tree, snuggle it in the bottom of the glass and then freeze until solid.

Once your snowglobe is ready, prepare the cocktail. Start by combining vodka, rosemary syrup, and lemon juice in a cocktail shaker filled with ice. Shake vigorously until well-chilled, allowing the flavors to meld. Add the club soda, then strain the mixture into your snowglobe prepared glass over ice.

But here’s the extra fun part—add a dash of edible glitter for a touch of shimmer!

If you’re out of rosemary syrup, you can substitute with a simple syrup and add a few fresh rosemary leaves to the cocktail for a similar herbal note. However, making rosemary syrup is easy and I recommend it for the authentic flavor profile.
