Okay, picture this: It's a lazy Sunday morning. I'm sitting on my porch, the sun is shining (sort of, it's usually cloudy here!), and I need something to kickstart my day. Coffee is a must, but the usual hot brew just isn't cutting it. That's when it hit me: why not jazz up my cold brew? I wanted something invigorating and slightly fancy, you know? I had some cranberries leftover from making sauce at Thanksgiving and a rosemary bush practically begging to be used. The result? Pure magic, I tell ya!
This Cranberry Rosemary Cold Brew Sparkle isn't just a drink; it's an experience. The rosemary's subtle, earthy notes dance with the cranberry's tartness, all mellowed by the smooth, chocolatey depth of the cold brew. The sparkling water adds that perfect zing, making it utterly refreshing. It's like a party in your mouth, honestly. And hey, if you want to add a splash of vodka or gin to make it a brunch cocktail, I won’t judge. Wink wink!
What does this mean for you? Well, it means you’re about to discover a new favorite drink! Whether you're looking for a sophisticated non-alcoholic option or a base for a fun cocktail, this recipe has got you covered. It's easy to customize to your liking—more cranberry for extra tartness, more rosemary for a bolder flavor, or even a cinnamon stick for a warm, spicy twist. Don’t be afraid to experiment, and most importantly, have fun with it. You won’t regret trying it, believe me.

🍽 Ingredients
📖 Instructions
- **Make the Cranberry Rosemary Syrup:** Combine cranberries, water, sugar, and rosemary sprigs in a saucepan.
- Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 10 minutes, or until the cranberries have burst and the syrup has thickened slightly. Your kitchen will smell AMAZING!
- Remove from heat and let the syrup cool completely. This usually takes about 20-30 minutes. The longer it sits, the more the rosemary infuses into the syrup.
- Strain the syrup through a fine-mesh sieve to remove the cranberry skins and rosemary sprigs. Discard the solids. You should have a beautiful, ruby-red syrup.
- **Assemble the Drink:** Fill a glass with ice cubes. I love using clear ice, but any ice will do!
- Pour in the cold brew coffee. About half the glass should be cold brew, give or take depending on how strong you like your coffee.
- Add 2-3 tablespoons of the cranberry rosemary syrup, adjusting to your sweetness preference. Start with less, you can always add more! Give it a little stir.
- Top off the glass with sparkling water. This is where the 'sparkle' comes in!
- Garnish with a fresh rosemary sprig and a few cranberries. It makes it look extra fancy! You can even add an orange peel for extra flair. If you're feeling fancy, that is.
- Give it one final stir, and enjoy immediately! Ahhhh, refreshing, isnt' it?
📝 Notes
- Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less cranberry rosemary syrup.
- For a stronger rosemary flavor, let the syrup sit overnight before straining.
- Add a splash of vodka or gin for an adult beverage.
