Notes
- Using a copper mug enhances the traditional experience and keeps the drink colder longer.
- Pebble ice melts slower and chills the cocktail effectively without diluting it quickly.
- Fresh rosemary adds a lovely herbal aroma that complements the citrus and cranberry flavors.
- For extra zest, squeeze a bit of the orange slice into the drink before dropping it in.
- This recipe can easily be scaled up for parties by multiplying the ingredients.
