A holiday party cocktail is usually a sugar bomb. This one builds its color and tartness from fresh cranberries simmered with rosemary and a keto sweetener, then topped with brut sparkling wine and a little vodka. It is bright, tart and gorgeous in a coupe.

Method
- Simmer the cranberries, water, sweetener and rosemary sprigs for 8 to 10 minutes, until the berries burst. Strain through a fine sieve, pressing gently; chill the syrup.
- For each drink, pour 1 ounce (30 ml) vodka and 1 ounce cranberry syrup into a coupe or flute.
- Top with about 4 ounces (120 ml) sparkling wine and garnish with a rosemary sprig and a few cranberries.
Chef’s notes
- Choose a sparkling wine labeled brut nature, extra brut or brut. “Dry” or “demi-sec” are far sweeter.
- Leave out the vodka for a lighter cocktail, or use sparkling water for a mocktail.
- The syrup keeps a week in the fridge.
Storage: Syrup keeps 1 week chilled; build drinks to order.
