Christmas Cosmopolitan
A festive twist on a popular classic drink. Christmas Cosmopolitan is made with pomegranate juice, ginger ale for sweetness and, of course, vodka. This could be called a pomegranate ginger martini, but Christmas Cosmopolitan is a much more fun name.
Let’s talk about the vodka. Plain or flavored vodka can be used. Lemon, blueberry, cranberry, apple or pomegranate, just to name a few.
If you’re looking for Christmas tequila drink, you can replace the vodka, with tequila. The same goes if you’re a gin drinker, as well.
Best served well chilled in a stemmed or stemless martini glass. To help keep it cold, keep your glasses in the freezer right up until you make the drink.
To make a festive garnish, I took fresh sprigs of rosemary and poked a hole through with a toothpick then carefully threaded them onto the leaves of the rosemary. Fun!
Just because this is a Christmas cocktail, it can be served all month long and is perfect for your New Years Eve party.

This drink was sooooo good! But how’d you get the pom seeds on the rosemary? So pretty but what a bsttle😍
I’m glad you enjoyed the drink. Getting the seeds onto the rosemary was not easy. It helps if the rosemary sprigs are drier and they will pierce the seeds easier 😊
