Cosmo in the Snow Cocktail (Snow Globe Christmas Cosmopolitan)
Sparkly, tart, and incredibly aesthetic, my Cosmo in the Snow Cocktail has arrived just in time for your holiday parties. Made with Empress Indigo Gin, Cointreau, white cranberry juice, and fresh lime juice, poured over a snow globe wonderland of rosemary trees, and cranberries, this Christmas cosmopolitan is seriously cute.
Ingredients
For Snowglobe Ice
- 1 sprig rosemary
- 1/4 cup cranberries
- Water
For Cocktail
- 1 1/2 oz Empress 1908 Indigo Gin
- 1-2 oz white cranberry juice
- 1 oz Cointreau or triple sec
- 3/4 oz lime juice
- Club soda
- Pomegranate seeds for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare snowglobe ice - Add cranberries and an inch of water to a wine glass. Trim a rosemary sprig so it fits inside the glass. Balance it in between the cranberries to look like a Christmas tree. Freeze until frozen solid, about 5 hours.
- To a fillable ornament - Add Empress 1908 Indigo Gin, Cointreau, white cranberry juice and lime juice.
- For serving, fill the glass halfway with club soda. If desired, add pomegranate seeds. Balance the cocktail ornament on the glass. When ready to enjoy, pour the cocktail mixture into the glass. Enjoy immediately.
Notes
- Chill all ingredients.
- Ornaments can be prepared in advance and stored in the refrigerator.
- White cranberry juice is a sweetened juice that’s milder in taste than traditional cranberry juice. If you use a different cranberry juice, adjust the sweetness of cocktail to taste.
- Mocktail version: Eliminate gin and triple sec. Add 3 oz white cranberry juice and ½ oz lime juice to the ornament. Optionally, add 1 oz butterfly pea tea and/or a drop of orange
