This Cranberry Rosemary Mocktail is refreshing, festive, and perfect for holiday hosting or cosy nights in. I love using frozen cranberries because they are available year-round, last a long time in the freezer, and double as ice cubes that keep your drink cold without watering it down.
Feel free to add your choice of alcohol if you prefer to turn this into a cocktail. Vodka, gin, or prosecco all pair nicely with cranberry.
