The Perfect Cocktail to Fully Embrace the Holiday Spirit!

Today marks Day 13 of the Advent Calendar, and we couldn’t miss highlighting a fragrance that particularly charmed those who had the chance to grab our Advent Calendar last year, as well as our team: Cosmopolitan. With its fresh, fruity, and delicately spiced notes, this fragrance is inspired by the iconic cocktail and perfectly evokes the elegant and festive evenings of the holiday season. A true favorite, once again!

To pay tribute to it, we’re giving the classic Cosmopolitan a festive twist with rosemary, frosted cranberries, and pomegranate. And the best part? Whether you’re in cocktail mode or mocktail mode, this recipe adapts perfectly to your preferences.

Here’s the recipe!

Ingredients

• 2 limes
• 1 ½ cups of pomegranate juice
• 1 cup of cranberry cocktail
• 4 oz of orange liqueur (such as Cointreau) – or orange syrup for the non-alcoholic version
• 1 sprig of fresh rosemary + a few extra sprigs for garnish
• 1 bottle of sparkling wine (or sparkling water for the non-alcoholic version)
• Pomegranate arils, for garnish
• Fresh or frozen cranberries, frosted (with sugar for a glamorous touch)
• Ice cubes

Preparation

1. Squeeze the limes and reserve 2 tablespoons of juice in a small bowl.
2. In a pitcher or bowl, combine the pomegranate juice, cranberry cocktail, the remaining lime juice, and orange liqueur (or orange syrup for the non-alcoholic version).
3. Add a sprig of rosemary to the mixture and let it infuse in the fridge for 30 minutes.
4. Just before serving, remove the rosemary sprig and add ice cubes to the mixture.
5. Fill each glass halfway with the mixture, then top it off with sparkling wine or sparkling water.
6. Garnish with a sprig of rosemary, pomegranate arils, and a few frosted cranberries for a festive touch.

Decoration Tip: To frost your cranberries, dip them in a bit of lime juice, then roll them in sugar before letting them dry. Guaranteed wow factor!

And voilà! All that's left to do is get comfortable, light a candle by your side, take a sip, and let the holiday spirit fill your moment. This cocktail (or mocktail) is perfect for your simple evenings or big celebrations. So, let’s raise a glass to the fragrance of Day 13!
