Working from home often means finding small joys to break up the day and celebrate special occasions. The Viral Snow Globe Cocktail is a delightful way to bring a little sparkle into your holiday season. Whether you’re hosting a virtual happy hour or just want to enjoy a beautiful drink while wrapping up your day, this recipe is simple, visually stunning, and perfect for maintaining that work-life balance.
What Makes the Snow Globe Cocktail Special?
This drink combines creativity with minimal effort. The secret lies in encasing a rosemary sprig in ice to create a charming snow globe effect. Once you add your favourite clear cocktail or sparkling water, the result is a festive, Instagram-worthy beverage that’s sure to brighten your day.
Ingredients
- 1 fresh rosemary sprig
- Water
- Clear cocktail of choice (e.g., vodka soda, gin and tonic) or sparkling water
- Optional cranberries to garnish
- Optional edible glitter or coconut flakes for the snow globe effect
Tools
- Freezer-safe glass. A curved shape will maximise the snow globe effect.
Instructions
1. Prepare the Glass and Ingredients
- Pour a small amount of water into the bottom of a freezer-safe glass.
- Place a fresh rosemary sprig upside down in the glass, ensuring it stands upright. If the sprig wobbles, secure it with string or tape.
- Option to add fresh cranberries to the water
2. Freeze the Glass
- Place the glass in the freezer and allow several hours for the water to freeze completely. This step creates the snow globe effect by encasing the rosemary sprig in ice.
3. Add the Beverage
- Once the glass is removed from the freezer, fill it with your chosen clear cocktail or sparkling water. And just like that, your snow globe cocktail is ready to enjoy!
Healthier Variations for the Health-Conscious
- Choose Low-Sugar Beverages: Opt for low-sugar mixers or sparkling water to keep your drink light and refreshing.
- Herbal Variations: Try using mint or basil instead of rosemary for a unique flavour and equally festive look.
- Non-Alcoholic Option: For a mocktail, use flavoured sparkling water or a splash of fruit juice to add a burst of colour and taste.
