Snow Globe Christmas Cocktail
Looking for a fun way to serve a festive drink this holiday season? The viral Snow Globe cocktail is an easy way to wow your guests!
Ingredients
- Sprig of rosemary
- A freezer-safe drink glass
- Water
- Kitchen twine
- Scotch tape
- 1-2 ounces Vodka
- 3 to 6 ounces Club soda
- Lime juice
- Fresh cranberries optional
- Edible glitter optional
Instructions
- Fill the glass with about one and a half inches of cold water.
- Trim the piece of rosemary to fit down inside the glass (it looks best if it’s below the drink surface and it won’t be awkard to drink the cocktail after the ice floats to the top).
- Most of the time the rosemary won’t stand up by itself unless you have a good bushy piece, so tie a piece of kitchen twine long enough to reach outside of the glass on both sides around the point before putting it in.
- Then place the sprig in the center of the bottom of your cocktail glass with the rosemary leaves slanted down and the point up (making it look like a Christmas tree). Let the twine hang over the edges on each side of the glass, and tape it in place on the outside.With optional cranberries: Add a few cranberries to the water before freezing to make a festive garnish when they float to the top of the drink as the ice melts!
- Place the glass in the freezer making sure the water is level. Freeze for one or two hours or until fully frozen.
- Remove the glass from the freezer and gently remove the tape and string, taking care not to snap off your “tree”. Sprinkle in some edible glitter for an added magical snow globe effect, if desired.
- Then add the vodka, club soda, and a squeeze of lime juice to cover the rosemary in your desired ratios (or your cocktail of choice). Serve immediately.
Notes
Pour in the cocktail right when you’re ready to drink. After about 10-15 minutes the ice will melt enough to pop up from the bottom and will start floating on top of the cocktail like a little iceberg with a tree. The ice will last slightly longer if the liquids you pour in are already cold.
