APPLE AND POMEGRANATE COCKTAIL

This is a new version of my fall cocktail from last Thanksgiving, with an apple twist for October. This recipe is adaptable for various group sizes; it’s easy to prepare for a small group and can be easily scaled up for larger gatherings or downsized for just one or two people. 🍎 🍎

INGREDIENTS
1 1/2 cups apple juice, no sugar added
1/2 cup pomegranate juice, no sugar added
1 cup sparkling water
9 ounces of vodka (1.5 ounces per serving or 1 shot glass)
ice cubes
½ apple, cut into 6 thin slices
1 cup cranberries
6 sprigs fresh rosemary

PREPARATION
Pour apple juice, pomegranate juice, and sparkling water into a small pitcher. Stir well. Add the vodka and ice cubes and stir again. Pour into 6 cocktail glasses. Cut a small hole in the center of each apple slice. Slide a rosemary spring halfway through each apple slice. Garnish each glass with the rosemary sprig and apple slice and about a tablespoon of cranberries. Sip slowly, as this goes down with ease... Makes 6 servings.
