Mistletoe Mocktail

A big cube studded with cranberries and a fragrant sprig of rosemary turns a glass of de- alcoholized sparkling wine into a festive mocktail. Instead of wine, you could use Toe Cocktail ginger ale, ginger beer or sparkling cranberry juice, and if you don’t have big enough coupes, use lowball glasses.

Ingredients:

1 1/3 cups (330 mL) frozen cranberries1 

1/2 cups (375 mL) cranberry cocktail

1 bottle (750 mL) de-alcoholized sparkling wine, chilled

6 bushy rosemary sprigs, trimmed to fit glass

Directions:
Divide cranberries evenly between moulds of a 2 × 3 silicone tray for making jumbo 2-inch (5-cm) ice cubes. Divide cranberry cocktail between moulds, so that it comes no higher than 1/3 inch (8 mm) from top. Freeze overnight.

To serve, place one cranberry cube in an 8- to 10-oz coupe. Pour about 4 oz of dealcoholized sparkling wine over cube. Garnish with rosemary and serve immediately.  Serves 6
