Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine 2 tbsp of honey and 3 sprigs of fresh rosemary. Simmer gently for 5 minutes until the honey is infused with rosemary aroma, then remove from heat and let cool.
  2. Step 2: In a large punch bowl, mix 3 cups of cranberry juice and 3 cups of apple juice. Stir in 1/4 cup of fresh lemon juice for brightness.
  3. Step 3: Strain the cooled rosemary honey syrup to remove rosemary sprigs and add the syrup to the juice mixture. Stir well to combine.
  4. Step 4: Just before serving, pour in 2 cups of chilled sparkling water to add effervescence. Stir gently to preserve bubbles.
  5. Step 5: Add 1 cup of thinly sliced apples, 1/2 cup of fresh cranberries, and 3 cups of ice cubes to the punch bowl to chill and garnish.
  6. Step 6: Serve immediately in glasses garnished with a small rosemary sprig for aroma.
