A rosemary syrup, tart cranberry juice and plenty of bubbles. It looks like a party in a glass, and the kids and the drivers get one too.

Steeping the rosemary off the heat gives you the pine flavor without bitterness.

You need

• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup water
• 3 sprigs fresh rosemary, plus more to garnish
• Ice
• 1 cup unsweetened cranberry juice, chilled
• 4 cups sparkling water, chilled
• 4 tbsp fresh or frozen cranberries
• Lime wedges, to garnish

How to make it

1. Whisk the sugar and water in a small saucepan over medium-low heat, add the rosemary and bring to a simmer, whisking often, about 5 minutes.
2. Take it off the heat, cover and let it steep 10 minutes. Strain and chill.
3. Fill 4 tall glasses with ice. Add 2 tablespoons of rosemary syrup to each, then divide the cranberry juice among them.
4. Top with sparkling water, add a tablespoon of frozen cranberries to each and stir. Garnish with lime and a rosemary sprig.
